The Cavaliers beat the Pacers 117-108 on Easter Sunday in downtown Cleveland, a victory that was seen as more muted than expected due to the team's light-handed and undermanned approach. Despite a slow start and a sluggish finish, Cleveland managed to pull away from the Pacers in the fourth quarter to secure a win. Despite being short-handed, Indiana managed to maintain a narrow lead at half-time, leading by 12 points. Donovan Mitchell scored 38 points, while James Harden added 19 points. The win marks a second consecutive loss for the Cavaliers, who have won four games and one for the city.
