The trio scored 79 points and still lost miserably! The Eastern dark horses were eliminated early, and Mitchell was on full fire with 32+9

On November 22, the NBA Cup group stage continued, with the Pacers challenging the Cavaliers away from home. In this game, the Pacers had good momentum, but the Cavaliers still relied on their better offensive momentum to continuously widen the point difference. In the third quarter, they won by 12 points and opened the point difference to 19 points. However, in the final quarter, the Pacers made a crazy counterattack and once closed the point difference, but the Cavaliers hit consecutive outside shots to seal the victory. In the end, the Cavaliers easily defeated the Pacers 120-109.

The Pacers performed well in this game. The trio of Nembhard, Siakam and Marcelin were in hot form, and together they scored 79 points. Among them, Nembhard performed well, shooting 11 of 20, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 32 points and 8 assists; Marcelin scored 21 points and 7 rebounds, and Siakam scored 26 points and 9 rebounds. Their performance was still very good, but it was a pity that they failed to get enough help, and in the end the team also defeated their opponents miserably.

With this disastrous defeat to the Cavaliers, the Pacers' record in the NBA Cup became 0 wins and 3 losses, which also caused them to be eliminated early and lost the opportunity to advance. The Pacers are no longer a dark horse this season. They have become a weak team without much competitiveness. They have only won 2 games so far and are ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference. It is really difficult to counterattack.

The Cavaliers continue to retain their spot in the wild card competition. After all, the top spot in this group has been locked by the Raptors. Next, they need to get as many points as possible. This time Mitchell was also on full fire. He played 34 minutes, made 11 of 22 shots, 4 of 11 three-pointers, and scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, with a plus-minus of +13. And Mitchell also got enough help this time, no longer just cutting in vain.

Garland made his comeback in this game, scoring 20 points and 7 assists on 5-of-12 shooting, and his condition is slowly recovering; Mobley served as the starting center, scoring 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Hunter also regained his touch, scoring 20 points on 8-of-16 shooting, and four members of the team scored 20+ points. In addition, the Cavaliers hit 13 three-pointers in this game. They have hit 10+ three-pointers in 104 consecutive games, continuing to set an NBA historical record.
