Cavaliers Rally for Victory in Game 3, Set Sights on Evening the Series

CLEVELAND, Ohio — After stumbling in the first two games of their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers, buoyed by a return to full strength, clinched a crucial victory on the road in Game 3.

The stage is set for an exciting Game 4 showdown on Sunday, scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. Eastern, as the Cavaliers aim to level the series.

In Game 3, the return of Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and De’Andre Hunter, who were absent due to injuries in Game 2, proved pivotal. Their impactful performances, along with the stellar contribution from Donovan Mitchell—who, with two successive 40-point games, remains a formidable playoff scorer—propelled the Cavs to their first win in the series.

The Cavaliers are eager to build on this momentum to secure another win in Game 4, which would restore their home court advantage and draw the series level at two games each before returning to Cleveland for the next matchup.
