Like three of the four Game 1 road wins, Indiana's triumph was marked by aberrant 3-point shooting. The Pacers went 19-of-36 (53%) beyond the arc, while the Cavaliers -- who ranked second in 3-point percentage during the regular season -- shot 9-of-38 (24%).

The Thunder, in what became clear from the jump, had no interest in sharing company in these NBA Playoffs with the beleaguered beasts of the East.

Elsewhere in the West, the Golden State Warriors have a 1-0 lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but they'll be without Stephen Curry for at least the next three games. Curry strained his hamstring in the Game 1 victory. The Wolves will try to even the series on Thursday.
