The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from their first loss in more than a month by beating the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night, 127-117. It was an especially sweet win since the Pacers were the team to snap the Cavaliers' winning streak two nights earlier.
Things were less sweet for the Pacers, who dropped their first game of 2025. Indiana trailed by nine with four minutes remaining when Bennedict Mathurin fouled Evan Mobley on a fast break. Mathurin did not agree with the call and immediately went after referee Natalie Sago. First clapping his hands near her head and then bumping into her as teammates tried to pull him away.
