Donovan Mitchell scored 27 of his game-high 35 points in the first half, helping the Cleveland Cavaliers to defeat the Indiana Pacers 127-117 in Indianapolis on Tuesday.

Mitchell has taken on a slightly different role this season, willingly taking a step back to purposely elevate and empower his younger teammates — Darius Garland and Evan Mobley.

Big third quarter helps Cavaliers win on the road, avenging a home loss to the Pacers two nights earlier. Cavs' big four each play a big role.

As Illinois dominated Indiana in every facet en route to a 94-69 win, the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall crowd expressed its displeasure with coach Mike Woodson.

Yet another win for Illinois comes with even more records. The Illini bounced back from their disappointing home loss to USC with a commanding victory Tuesday night over the Hoosiers in Bloomington. And it was the kind of defeat IU has NEVER had in history.
