Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin was ejected from the game with just under five minutes left in the first quarter after being called for a flagrant-2 foul for hitting Cavs wing De'Andre Hunter in the chest. Hunter shoved him to the ground in retaliation, causing the officials to review the incident and eject Mathurin.
