Game 7: Indiana Pacers 101 - 105 Cleveland Cavaliers - 5 Talking Points

#1 Game 7 brought the best out of every single player

Thompson consoles Victor Oladipo at the end of the game

For the first time in this series, all 5 of the Cleveland Cavaliers' usual starting five from the regular season finished with double-digit scores. LeBron had 45, Love had 14, Thompson had 15, while JR Smith and George Hill each had 11.

On the Pacers' part, while Bojan Bogdanovic and Myles Turner were massively underwhelming on offense, they played stout defense. Bogdanovic ended up with a +/- of 4 despite only scoring 3 points off 9 field goal attempts, and he tried his best to pose difficulties to LeBron James.

For the most part, the Cavs won this game because their complementary role players played to their potential on the offensive end, while the Pacers didn't. Perhaps it was the experience that LeBron and co have of closing out series over the years that proved to be the difference this time around.
