NBA Conference Semifinals: Surprising Strategies That Could Upend the Playoff Favorites
The Boston Celtics proved how important 3-point shooting was during last season’s title run and the Cavaliers will follow suit and overwhelm the Pacers with their spacing.

The Cavaliers boasted the second-best clutch record in the regular season, per NBA.com, but dig a little deeper and you’ll see the Pacers were the better clutch team. Indiana had a better field goal percentage and 3-point percentage in the clutch and the best plus/minus in clutch situations in the NBA. The Pacers were also the only team to average more free throws in clutch minutes than the Cavaliers this season.
