Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers at Rocket Arena

Familiar foes make the best fights. Indiana returns to Rocket Arena on Tuesday, December 1, and both teams know exactly what the other wants to do.

That's when the chess match gets good. The Pacers are associated with an up-tempo style, which means transition defense, rebounding and the decisions after a turnover all matter. Cleveland has to control the pace and make home court count. In person, you see all five players move before the ball reaches them. You catch the rotation before the shot goes up. A single run can change the mood of the building, but neither team is guaranteed one. A familiar opponent also rewards the fans who pay close attention. You know what Indiana wants. You know what Cleveland needs to stop. You get to watch those two plans collide, and sometimes one tiny adjustment is what turns the whole night.

December is a great time to see how this Cavs team is developing. Join the Rocket Arena crowd, pick your moments to get loud and watch the adjustments play out. Tuesday nights can feel ordinary. Rocket Arena has a way of changing that. Bring someone who loves basketball as much as you do and make the night count. Get Cavaliers–Pacers tickets for December 1.
