The Indiana Pacers host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday for Game 4 of their 2025 Eastern Conference semifinal series. The fourth-seed Pacers are up 2-1 in the second round series after the top-seed Cavaliers clinched a Game 3 victory on Friday.

Game 3 marked the return of Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter after they were previously unavailable for Cleveland during their heartbreaking 120-119 Game 2 loss. Garland was also unavailable to play in Game 1 of the series.

With the starters available to play, the Cavaliers were able to clinch a comfortable 126-104 Game 3 victory to bounce back against the Pacers.

Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers' victory charge with 43 points, nine rebounds, five assists and a steal. Meanwhile, TJ McConnell led the Pacers' effort off the bench with 12 points, six rebounds and seven assists.

The series is yet to witness a home victory as both teams clinched their wins on the road. The Pacers have the opportunity to secure the first home win and gain a commanding 3-1 lead against the Cavaliers in the best-of-seven series.
