The Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers are set for a must-watch Game 4 showdown on Sunday, May 11, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV, and Max.
Just when it looked like the Cavaliers were on the verge of collapse, they came roaring back in Game 3, avoiding a dreaded 3-0 series deficit with a dominant 126-104 victory on the road. A 34-13 third-quarter explosion flipped the momentum back to Cleveland, giving them hope to tie the series 2-2. Despite their struggles from three-point range—14-for-47 in Game 3 and 9-for-38 in Game 1—the Cavs proved they could control the tempo with their defense and interior scoring. However, they’ll need to shoot better from distance if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
On the other side, Indiana let a golden opportunity slip away. After handling the Cavs in back-to-back games, the Pacers failed to capitalize on their home-court advantage, particularly with their lackluster 9-for-30 performance from deep and a flat first-half effort that left them playing catch-up all night. Still, the Pacers lead the series 2-1 and know that a win on Sunday puts them in firm control with a potential close-out game on the horizon.
History is on everyone’s mind—Cleveland famously erased a 3-1 deficit to win the 2016 NBA Finals. Indiana, meanwhile, wants to avoid giving the Cavs any more life heading into Game 5. With Donovan Mitchell heating up and Tyrese Haliburton looking to bounce back, all eyes turn to Sunday night in Indy for a series-defining battle.
