The Cleveland Cavaliers faced a significant setback this past Sunday as the Indiana Pacers ended their winning streak with a 108-93 victory. While the Cavaliers had been performing well, they struggled offensively, shooting just 39 percent overall and a dismal 26 percent from three-point range.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson pointed to poor defense as the main issue, noting that the team faltered in the second half after a strong defensive start. The Pacers capitalized, shooting an impressive 67 percent from the field in the final two quarters. Donovan Mitchell echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of maintaining defensive intensity.
