Pacers Come From Behind, Top Cavaliers
The Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 114-111, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Wednesday evening.

The Pacers (16-18) had to come from behind to steal the win here, as the Cavaliers (14-22) got off to a strong start but couldn't hold on to their early advantage.

Indiana reduced some of that advantage after winning the third quarter by a two-point margin (31-29), but the Pacers came through in the final minutes and won the final 12 minutes of action by a 32-21 score -- something that allowed them to come away with the win despite being down on the score through much of the contest.

Domantas Sabonis had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds, while both Doug McDermott and Myles Turner each ended with 12 points -- McDemortt also had three boards while Turner also added two boards and four blocks.
