INDIANAPOLIS, April 13 (UPI) -- Danny Granger led Indiana to an overwhelming third period Friday that brought the Pacers a playoff berth with their 102-83 win over Cleveland.

Indiana trailed by two at the break, but outscored the Cavaliers in the third period 34-13. The Pacers will take part in the playoffs for the second straight year and currently hold down the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.
