CAVALIERS

This time, James and Korver made sure the Cavaliers held on to win for the first time in four tries in Indianapolis this season.

If Cleveland wins two of the next three games, James will advance to the conference semifinals for the 13th consecutive year.

It appeared the Cavs might run away when they took a 49-33 with 6:01 left in the first half.

Instead, the Pacers closed the half on a 10-2 run to get within 60-50 and opened the second half on another 10-2 spurt to make it 62-60.

Cleveland charged back out to a 76-68 lead with 4:41 left in the third only to watch the Pacers score the final six points of the quarter, tie the score on Lance Stephenson’s 11-footer to open the fourth and take the lead on Sabonis’ 3-pointer with 10:51 left.

From that point, it was an all-out slugfest that included James getting called for a technical foul and a wrestling match between Stephenson and Jeff Green for the ball with 9 seconds left. Green finally sealed the win with two free throws after Stephenson was called for a foul.

UPHILL BATTLE

Cavaliers point guard George Hill sat out Game 4 with back spasms, an injury he first suffered during Game 1 and aggravated during Game 3.

And it’s not clear whether he’ll be ready to go Wednesday, either.

“There’s just not a lot of movement there,” coach Tyronn Lue said before the game.

With Hill out, the Cavs plugged veteran Jose Calderon into the starting lineup less than 48 hours after not even seeing the court.

Calderon finished with two points and one assist.
