In a stunning upset that has sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Indiana Pacers have eliminated the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, clinching their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. The decisive moment came from Myles Turner, whose clutch three-pointer with mere seconds left on the clock sealed the Pacers’ 109-100 victory, sending the Cavs packing in just five games.

The tension was palpable as the clock wound down, with the Pacers holding a narrow lead. Cleveland, desperate to claw back, had missed crucial free throws that could have shifted the momentum. But it was Turner’s dagger from beyond the arc that left fans in disbelief and the Cavaliers in despair. The shot extended Indiana’s lead to nine points, and the team could almost taste the victory.

This victory marks an impressive chapter for the Pacers, a franchise that has fought hard to prove its worth. After being labeled as lucky in last year’s playoff run, they have now silenced critics and showcased their true potential. With back-to-back wins over a 64-win team, the Pacers have firmly established themselves as serious contenders for the NBA Finals.

As the basketball world holds its breath, the focus shifts to the other Eastern Conference matchup, where the New York Knicks have a chance to eliminate the Boston Celtics. The playoffs have never been more unpredictable, with the possibility of two 60-plus win teams facing early exits.

As Tyrese Haliburton waved goodbye to the Cavs, the Indiana Pacers have set the stage for what could be an unforgettable postseason. The momentum is on their side, and the clock is ticking as they prepare for their next showdown. Basketball fans, buckle up—this playoff season is just getting started!
