Cleveland defeated Indiana even without some of its best players.

Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen each notched 23 points, and the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers won against the Indiana Pacers 108-103 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.

The Cavs led by as many as 9 in the 4th quarter before the Pacers tied the match with almost 2 minutes until the end. LeVert scored for Cavaliers to take the lead again as Indiana didn’t notch any points until the end.

Caris also finished with 11 assists and 8 boards. Jarrett grabbed 9 boards.

Cleveland was without 3 starters, including star Donovan Mitchell, who averages an organization-high almost 28 points but missed the clash because of a nose problem. Marcus Morris Sr., who inked a 10-day deal with the team, helped from the bench with 14 points.

Pascal Siakam scored 19 points and grabbed 12 boards for Indiana. Packers star Tyrese Haliburton scored 14 points and had 12 assists, while T.J. McConnell also had 14 points.

Cleveland will welcome the Heat on Wednesday, while Indiana will play against the Pistons in Detroit on the same day.
