INDIANAPOLIS -- Apparently these Cleveland Cavaliers aren't superstitious bunch. After arriving at the arena wearing matching Thom Browne suits prior to their Game 3 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday, the Cavs are once again dressed for success.
Arriving at Bankers Life Fieldhouse for their Game 4 matchup with the Pacers on Sunday, the Cavs emerged from their team bus once again donning matching custom suits. As opposed to the gray threads they wore on Friday, these suits were black and according to multiple tweets, also appear to be a Thom Browne creation.
Initially, Friday's suits -- which were a gift from LeBron James -- appeared to bring the Cavs good luck, as they jumped out to a 57-40 halftime lead. Any good fortune, however, didn't last long, as Cleveland proceeded to squander its 17-point advantage, with the Pacers take a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-seven series.
Now the Cavs find themselves trailing an Eastern Conference Playoffs series for the first time since the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Chicago Bulls in 2015. Cleveland proceeded to win three straight games before sweeping the Atlanta Hawks en route to their first of three straight NBA Finals appearances.
Following the Cavs' loss on Friday, social media roasted the team -- and James -- for the matching suits. James, who shuts down his social media accounts each postseason, clearly didn't care, as evidenced by Sunday's wardrobe choice.
