After a thrilling Game 3 comeback win, the Indiana Pacers can take a stunning 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a win in Game 4.

The Indiana Pacers destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of their first-round series, but it looked like order had been restored after a LeBron James explosion in Game 2 and a dominant Cavaliers first half in Game 3.

However, the Pacers flipped the script in Friday’s second half and turned a 17-point halftime deficit into an improbable 92-90 victory to take a 2-1 series lead. Indiana will now have a chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead on its home floor Sunday.

Bojan Bogdanovic was the hero in Game 3. Bogdanovic scored 19 of his playoff career-high 30 points in the second half while also playing admirable defense against LeBron. Bogdanovic scored 10 points during a 14-2 run that gave the Pacers a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter, and then he scored five straight points after James went on a personal 7-0 run to tie the game.

Victor Oladipo also played a key role in Indy’s victory. Oladipo didn’t shoot well and struggled at times with Cleveland’s aggressive double-teams, but he stuffed the stat sheet with 18 points, seven assists, six rebounds and three steals.

While LeBron had 28 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Cavaliers, he played an uneven game and clearly wasn’t at his best. Still, a little more help would have given Cleveland a win. James’ teammates combined for only 18 points in a 33-point half for the team. Kevin Love only managed three points in the second half after pouring in 16 points in the first half, which saw the Cavaliers go up 57-40.

George Hill was the only other Cavalier to score in double figures.

LeBron has never been down 2-1 in a first-round playoff series, so this is a whole new world. The Cavaliers’ porous defense was a major concern during the regular season, but in this series it has been the offense that has let them down. The Pacers deserve a ton of credit for not backing down, and they’ll have their home crowd behind them as they try to pull off another win. Cleveland officially has its hands full.
