This ain’t a fluke.

The Indiana Pacers are going back to the conference finals for consecutive seasons after making a 19-point comeback against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 by a final score of 114-105.

I went on Locked on Pacers to discuss everything from Game 5 from Tyrese Haliburton’s incredible shotmaking, everyone starring in their roles to get the Pacers here, Cavaliers reactions to their 64-win season ending this way, the genius of Rick Carlisle, Thomas Bryant’s insane third quarter, Pascal Siakam being the needed buzzkill for this group, and more.

Watch above or listen anywhere you typically find podcasts.
