GAME 1:
Pacers start their season with a victory over the Cavs
INDIANA PACERS (1-0) -
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (0-1)
The Cavs played well, James and Hughes were unstoppable on offense. But Jermaine was to dominant on defense, next to brand new Pacer Raef, he blocked, rebounded and especially crused the Cavs. Miller had 31 pts, so was an important player on offense, like always excellent from 3pt-land . Tinsely and Artest were disappointing they will have to improve their game next game VS Dallas.
