<p>The <a href="https://www.fearthesword.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> had a good opportunity to take down the 2-0 <a href="https://www.indycornrows.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Pacers</a> in Indiana, but rookie Kyrie Irving missed a wide open layup as time expired with the game tied 84-84.</p>
<p>The Pacers struggled with their shot all night (38-percent), but found new life after Irving's miss, outscoring the Cavs 14-7 in the five minute overtime period. Nine of those points came from <span>Danny Granger</span>, who finished with a game-high 22 points, seven rebounds and four assists.</p>
<p>The No. 1 overall pick from last year's draft, Irving, was the leader for the Cavs with 20 points on 8-of-19 shooting and three assists. <span>Anderson Varejao</span> had a double-double for Cleveland with 14 points and 13 rebounds.</p>
<p>Three different Pacers recorded double-doubles -- <span>Roy Hibbert</span>, <span>David West</span>, and <span>Tyler Hansbrough</span> -- and six players in all scored in double figures.</p>
<p>The Cava go back to Quicken to play the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-jersey-nets" class="sbn-auto-link">Nets</a> on Sunday.</p>

<p>For more on the Cavaliers, visit SB Nation's <a href="http://www.fearthesword.com">Fear the Sword</a>.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.indycornrows.com/">Indiana Pacers</a> had possibly the best offseasons in the abbreviated free agency period, and as a result they are off to a solid 2-0 start. Tonight they put that undefeated record on the line at home against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cleveland Cavaliers</a>. Cleveland has struggled so far, but their youth will be a major factor tonight, as Indy Cornrows points out in its solid preview of tonight's game<a href="http://www.indycornrows.com/2011/12/30/2669503/cleveland-cavaliers-vs-indiana-pacers-pacers-perfectly-primed-for"> at Banker's Life Fieldhouse</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>With the <a href="http://indiana.sbnation.com/indiana-pacers/2011/12/nba/teams/cleveland-cavaliers" class="sbn-auto-link">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> coming to town, the prospects of the Pacers' first 3-0 start in four years look as promising as ever. And, unlike its 07-08 predecessors, Indy may just have the staying power to spur the winning momentum onward. The Cavaliers--still recovering from the Summer of LeBron--present a roster thick on youth, inexperience, and hope for the future, but thin on developed and worthwhile talent to initiate a winning formula.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Cavaliers come in off of a solid 105-89 win over Detroit on Wednesday night, and will try to get their second straight road win.</p>
