The Cleveland Cavaliers' 12-game winning streak in the National Basketball Association (NBA) ended with a 93:108 home loss to the Indiana Pacers in their regular-season game.
Indiana played a very balanced game on offense, with six players scoring 10 or more points - Andrew Nembhard (19), Pascal Siakam (18), Myles Turner (15), Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin (12 each), and Thomas Bryant (11).
Cleveland had a poor shooting day, shooting under 40% from close and mid-range. Darius Garland led the way with 20 points, Donovan Mitchell added 19, and Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen added 16 and 11 points, respectively, with Mobley grabbing 12 rebounds.
Despite the loss, the Cavaliers remain leaders in the East with a 33-5 record, while Indiana is fifth in the same conference with 22 wins and 18 losses after its sixth consecutive success.
The two teams meet again on January 14, but this time at the Pacers' arena.
