Rome, 12 May (LaPresse) – On NBA playoff night, the Indiana Pacers' clear 129-109 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers sent Donovan Mitchell's team into crisis, forcing him to leave the court with an ankle injury after scoring just 12 points. Today, Mitchell will undergo tests to determine the extent of an injury that could spell the end of the Cavs' season, as they trail 3-1 in the series against the Pacers. Myles Turner and Obi Toppin (20 points each) were the main drivers of Indiana's home win. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder's 92-87 away win levelled the series with the Denver Nuggets at 2-2. Game four was marked by 25 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who led Oklahoma to victory despite Nikola Jokic's 27 points for the Nuggets.
