Donovan Mitchell, the six-time All-Star and MVP candidate, nearly carried the depleted Cavs to an improbable win.

Haliburton hit a free throw to cut the deficit to two with 12.1 seconds remaining, rebounded his own miss on the second attempt and then calmly dribbled back and connected on the winning three-pointer to give his team a 120-119 victory.

Tyrese Haliburton scored a dramatic three-pointer with just over a second remaining as the Indiana Pacers stunned the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers 120-119 to take a commanding 2-0 lead in their NBA Eastern Conference semi-final series on Tuesday.
