The Pacers host the Cleveland Cavaliers in NBA action on 1/14/25. Here are live score updates, stats, schedule and highlights.

Pascal Siakam scored 23 points and Bennedict Mathurin 19 for the Pacers, who had their six-game winning streak halted. Myles Turned added 17 points. The Cavaliers led 82-77 in the third quarter before going on a 10-0 run that included 3-pointers by Max Strus, Georges Niang and Mobley. Cleveland led 100-89 after three periods.

In a bounce-back victory over the Pacers, the Cavs were led by Donovan Mitchell, who put the team on his back.

Mitchell has taken on a slightly different role this season, willingly taking a step back to purposely elevate and empower his younger teammates — Darius Garland and Evan Mobley.

The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t needed Donovan Mitchell to be the Donovan Mitchell of old this season. At least, not that often. He hasn’t been as aggressive as he’s usually been. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been as efficient,
