The Cavaliers began this series with back-to-back home games against Indiana, but endured a nightmare start as they lost 121-112 and 120-119.
It has been a far cry from their first-round series with Miami, which saw them sweep the Heat in four games.
Cleveland, who finished top of the Eastern Conference with a 64-18 record, ran out comfortable winners in the first two games at home, beating the Heat 121-100 and 121-112.
The Cavaliers then completed the job with a couple of blowout victories on the road, as they travelled to Miami to win 124-87 and 138-83.

The Pacers have taken control of this showdown with the Cavaliers, recording 121-112 and 120-119 victories on the road.
They secured their place in the playoffs by going 50-32 during the regular season, and made straightforward work of Milwaukee in the first round.
Indiana opened the series at home and registered 117-98 and 123-115 victories over the Bucks, but they missed out on the chance to sweep when they lost 117-101 on the road.
