NBA playoffs: Cavaliers in game 3 with blowout from Pacers on the board; Donovan Mitchell drops 43 points

by

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally looked like the top team of the Eastern Conference on Friday.

After the Cavaliers were stunned against the Indiana Pacers in the first two games of their semi-final series of the Eastern Conference, they took care of the business with a win of 126-104 in game 3 in front of an enemy Gainbridge Fieldhouse audience. The Pacers still lead the series 2-1.

Donovan Mitchell recorded his second game in a row in a row to reach Cleveland there and ended with 43 points in the 14 von-29 shoot as well as nine rebounds and five templates.

A central game 4 is planned for Sunday at 8 p.m. ET in Indiana (TNT/Max).

Cavaliers become healthy and catch a strong start

As it turns out, a team that brings back the NBA defensive player of the year is his starting point guard and the top scorer of the best bank.

The cavaliers were due to injuries without Evan Mabley, Darius Garland and De'andre Hunter for game 2 and left them behind without three of their four best scorers. The team reacted more than ever to Mitchell, which meant that he looked absolutely gassed for a 48-point night and in the catastrophic last minutes.

All three were ready for Game 3 and Cleveland helped open the game 11-0. The Pacers bumped back to bind the game at the end of the first quarter, but another run brought the Cavaliers on double -digit digits.

With Mobley back, the cavaliers were able to play a little closer to their game. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the cavaliers in the rebound coil between 58-34 and in the color 48-32 were located thanks to their twin tower facility of Mobley (18 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks) alongside Jarrett Allen (19 points, 12 rebels and 2 assists).

Quiet game for Tyresie Haliburton

It would have been difficult for Tyrese -Haliburton to reach his heroic deeds from game 2, but the Pacers Point Guard was completely closed on Friday.

Haliburton ended with four points on 2-von-8 shooting, 5 templates, 3 sales and 0 rebounds. He raised his profile as much as everyone in this post, but he was invisible in a game that could have ended this series effectively.
