Victor Oladipo, Pacers stop Cavaliers' win streak at 13 with 106-102 win

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Cavaliers' winning streaks are over thanks to Victor Oladipo and, more broadly, the 3-pointer.
The Indiana Pacers knocked off the Cavs 106-102 Friday night, stopping Cleveland's overall winning streak at 13 and its road streak at seven. A win for the Cavs would've set franchise records for both.
Oladipo scored 33 points, with six 3s. The Pacers drained 15 3-pointers as a team. The Cavs, always such a dangerous team in the fourth quarter, especially from 3-point range, made just three of 12 attempts beyond the arc in the final period. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
