3. The Pacers found a formula for success on both ends in Game 6

The Indiana Pacers found a groove in Game 6 and it helped them run away with things in the end. The Pacers put up 35 fast break points on Friday night. Cleveland only had 12. Indiana scored 58 points in the paint, while Cleveland mustered 32 points in the paint.

Indiana was overwhelming with its formula for success on both ends and it showed. The team shot 25-of-44 (56.8 percent) from the field and 9-of-16 (56.3 percent) from 3-point range in the victory.

Victor Oladipo put up 28 points on 11-of-19 shooting (57.9 percent) from the field and 6-for-8 (75 percent) from beyond the arc. Next to Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis had 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting along with six rebounds off the bench.

After putting up the most points as a team all series, the Indiana Pacers look to have all the momentum heading into Game 7 on Sunday. They’ve looked poised with Oladipo leading the way and haven’t backed down all series from the Cavaliers, something that’s carried them this far already.
