The Indiana Pacers tied an NBA playoff record by building a 41-point halftime lead Sunday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers.

The 80-39 lead matched the previous mark set by the Cavs in Game 2 of the 2017 conference finals against Boston, according to Sportradar. And the Pacers did it despite having one of their top scorers, Bennedict Mathurin, ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul less than eight minutes into the game.

It’s also the 10th time in playoff history any team has scored 80 points in a half. Oklahoma City did it most recently, with 87 points in Game 2 against Denver earlier this week.

The Pacers dominated the first two quarters, shooting 60% from the field and making 12 of 18 3-pointers while posting 25 assists. Cleveland shot 25% from the field, had only three assists and only three players with more than one made basket.

Indiana tied the record on Aaron Nesmith‘s buzzer-beating mid-range jumper to close the half.

The Pacers hold a 2-1 lead in the series, which moves to Cleveland on Tuesday for Game 5.

Casagrande define “reforço” obrigatório para o Flamengo: “Dar uma chacoalhada”

Filipe Luís, em treino no Flamengo (Adriano Fontes/CRF) Casagrande avalia que Filipe Luís precisa contar com um aliado crucial no Flamengo. Embora o retorno de Rodrigo Caio para ser auxiliar técnico seja positivo, o comentarista vê uma ausência importante fora dos gramados. Isso porque o treinador, além do ex-zagueiro, não possuem o perfil de “chacoalhar” o vestiário e despertar o lado mais agressivo dos atletas em campo. “Quando se tem um treinador e um auxiliar, normalmente o perfil é diferente para ter visões diferentes do que está acontecendo no grupo e nos jogos. Eu acho que o Filipe Luís e o Rodrigo Caio têm perfis parecidos. Os dois estão iniciando e com falta de experiência.”, disse Casão, no UOL News Esporte.
