INDIANAPOLIS — Darius Garland paused for 17 seconds when asked postgame why the Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t come out with enough force and match the Indiana Pacers’ physicality in Game 4.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, there was no script for how this playoff series against the Indiana Pacers was supposed to go. Not after a 64-win season and blitzing the Miami Heat in the first round. Not with a roster full of talent,

“Y’all don’t understand what I’m going through,” Garland said, per Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “I mean, everybody has their opinion. I’m going out there and playing basketball. Everybody has their nicks and bruises around this time. So, going out and trying to win the series."
