The Cavs led by as many as 26 points, while Indiana tried to chop the lead into bits, but failed. This Pacers team ranked third in points per game (116.8), and fifth in possessions per game (103.8), so they’re going to force their way into scoring opportunities.

Mobley was excellent, with 18 points, 13 rebounds, three blocks and three steals on Friday. Garland had some rust (10 points on 3-for-10 shooting), as did Hunter (2-for-6, eight points). The Cavs will need all three to be on the floor for Game 4, but the best they can offer on that is "hope."
