Cavs vs Pacers 2024-25 NBA regular season series
The Pacers bested the Cavs during the regular season, beating Cleveland in three of the four matchups, though two of those games took place after the Cavaliers had already secured the No. 1 seed in the East and had nothing on the line in terms of incentive.
In the two games during the regular season before that end-of-the-year period, the road team won both games. First, the Cavs lost 108-93 in Indiana in what was one of their worst offensive performances of the entire season.
