With a true point guard, the Cavaliers finally had a go-to offensive set to counter the Pacers’ smart halftime adjustments that had a big role in how out of sync the Cavs looked coming out of the locker room. The Cavs repeatedly called for the lethal 1-3 pick and roll that was a staple of their Finals runs the last three years. “G-Hill not playing in the first half coming in the third quarter and giving us that spark at the point guard position with him and LeBron running the 13 action, it was huge for us,” Thompson said. “He was able to make shots, get to the lane and put pressure on (Bojan) Bogdanovic to either pick or choose.”
