The Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers kicked off the second round of the NBA playoffs on Sunday, playing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Rocket Arena. The visiting side proved victorious, as Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers to an upset 121-112 victory, stealing home court advantage from a Cavs side missing Darius Garland.

Cleveland superstar Donovan Mitchell still has something to celebrate from the defeat, though. With a 33-point night, Mitchell broke a longstanding Michael Jordan playoff record.
