Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Full Game 3 Highlights – May 9, 2025 | NBA Playoffs
Here is Garland shoveling to Allen. Good looking possession here. Stress cut X on a three. Number one thing, Kenny Atinson securing the defensive glass. They went through some film on it and again it’s a problem this time off the free throw. Two of those guys all star and another in the running for six man of the year. Here’s Strus attacking the close out. Drews a tough take and an eight nothing start to game three and this start by the Cleveland Cavaliers show that they put that loss that comeback loss behind them. Hallebertton gets denied by Moy controlled by Cleveland. They have numbers. Mitchell shovels Garland fakes dishes in the corner. Strus a three. You bet. An 11 nothing punch from Cleveland out of the gates and able to alter that attempt from Seakum. Mitchell a three is good. Big swing on both ends and it’s a 12-point Cavs lead. Put so much pressure on Donovan Mitchell in the first two games playing without Jerry’s Gar. Here’s Mitchell spinning into the paint exploding and finishing. How about that move from Donovan Mitchell plus the foul missing game two with a huge rebound. Oh, Mitchell slides in. Couldn’t finish it. Turner came over. Here’s McConnell shoveling back. Turner a three. It is good. One of one and Cleveland is four of five from three. That was Kenny Atinson’s number one key today. Make shots. Turner. He’s doing that. He is all 10. He went on to game seven and broke a game seven record. 51 points. So I believe we’re going to see JT respond in the Gardens tomorrow. Arther it on a three off the bench. No one left their man. Gave Ty Jerome no outlet. Mather in again and off to a great start here as the bench has given the pace a huge lift. Mobly gets a clean look and drills it from three to end the 100 run and stretch it from beyond the arc and he has to be guarded out to 23-9. Yeah, shot it at 37% as Hallebertton’s runner goes. Nemhard in Hallebertton gets a rest. Mathan gets free and reverses it home off the window. Their fifth of the opening quarter. Garland dancing, dishing and Moy the slam. I already knew that he was delivering that to DeAndre Hunter. The look away. You got to chalk it up to the timing of having to miss those games and not being able to play or practice with that sprained ankle. I mean, five times we’ve seen him drop the ball. Neard in the corner. Here’s Neard. 3 seconds left. A three for Shephard. You bet. Tie game. What a finish to the first in Indian jump awkwardly on that possession and maybe he ran into one of the pacer defenders on his way to the basket. Mobly strong take now. Mobly missed last game with an ankle. So far in game three. Seakum misses both. Look at the tip. Mi Smith had that key put back. Mitchell no look. Good movement here. Strus waits, attacks. Mitchell swims in and floats it home. That patented Donovan Mitchell move. Meanwhile, Garland, we’ll see how he navigates this second quarter with those three personals. Garland navigated well there. Faked the three. Just two of 18 from three entering tonight’s game. He’s one of three tonight. Mitchell sidstepping three is good. Donovan Mitchell up to 13 points. The way it affected him at the beginning of this season, kind of just reading too much negativity and having to to really clear his mind, get back to finding the joy of playing. Kiakum second, fourth team foul. Merrill run off, bounces Allen again with the push shot. Cavs have completely dominated this second. A 19-point lead facing a two- hole. Matherine finishes plus the foul. Great cut by Matan has four, but with one and a half remaining in this first half being two isn’t a problem. Four is an issue. Mitchell streus a deep one short. Allen on the offensive glass and Moy as well. Here’s Merrill catch fire and hit from three. Allen off to Strus. Garland catch fire. Megan Mitchell on a three as Donovan Mitchell has 20 points now. Garland wiggling through traffic off to Allen. Allen with the step on Turner. Slams it down. Indiana had missed 13 straight threes before that make. Here’s Mitchell in the corner. Connects. Now Donovan Mitchell now. James Johnson actually was waving him back. Turner with a huge block on the other end. And right now as Miles Turner still gimping trying to get up and down the floor, but doing the job on both ends. Hallebertton pops it in. He’s going to have to come out of this game right now. He’s still struggling even though he’s coming up with block shots and buckets. Struz turns the corner and hammers it down. Corner going to the scorers table. Here’s Nemar. Another three is good. Indiana showing signs of life in this third. An 112 run. Mitchell gets bumped, finishes, puts the foul. And that’s the way you come back and at least stopping one point from the P. DeAndre Hunter back in for Cleveland. Here’s Strus opening it up to Moy who oops the alley. Here comes Matin off the top in it to three. McConnell bats it alive into the corner. Matin connects. Shot clock turned off. Mitchell lost it. able to flag it down and lay it up and in. Coach at half told me that the challenge was understanding the importance of creating more opportunities and possessions. How would you assess how your team did? Um, we can definitely be a lot better in a lot of different areas offensively, but everything’s on the glass right now, man. They got to compete defensively and our offense take care of itself. You guys have been in this position before. You guys have a knack for coming back, being down big. What is the necessary things for you to do to close out this game? You got to believe they’re all little things out on the floor making necessary plays and honestly I suddenly got a chance though about about to get to it. Thank you. And which without that length on the floor, no Jared Allen and two bigs on the floor right now gives an opportunity for Seakum to pick up those second chance points. Garland buries the three. Huge shot there from Darius Garland who picked up four fouls in the first half has managed to avoid his fifth so far in the second. Oh, nice dish topping to [Applause] Seakum. Here’s Toin finds the cutter. McConnell has played some big minutes here in the second half. Crowd wanting a foul. Didn’t get it. Toppin finds Moano. He got it and it is a 14-point game. And that’s been the answer for the Pacers in this fourth quarter thus far. They’re going to get an offensive foul on that one. That’s going to be Dean Wade. TJ McConnell picking up full court and now getting the crowd involved. Here’s McConnell speeding into the lane. They need it. Seakum has it out of the timeout. Thank you, Angel. Merryill unable to hit the three. Here’s Mitchell. But that was a smart shot by Merrill for this reason as Mitchell gets the second chance points and Rick Carl is going to continue to attack that matchup with Darius Garland knowing that he’s hobbled and playing with four fouls as Mitchell buries the three. Mitchell stops kicks. You bet. Max Strus delivers a huge three. Strus battling against the pressure, gets it up to Mitchell. Mitchell soarses in, comes it home, plus the foul. Couldn’t stay in play anymore. Bryant thunders it down. And a move that worked for Kenny Atinson as did his timing of going zone in that second quarter. Garland seeing how he responds. It’s been two weeks since he’s played basketball. So, how does he respond after a rigorous effort here? The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the board in the Eastern Conference semifinals. They take game

Spider..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Donovan Mitchell is such a well animated athlete
Haliburton: Please guys don't call me an overrated bum just after 1 game. Focus on Jimmy barely gets any Buckets being washed up like Klay.
Donovan Mitchell again with a masterclass performance. IF they go through they will beat any team from the East, the question is can they beat OKC at home and be consistent? We'll see. Siakam, 18 pts is good but your team needs more from you. Same with bench players, go off or go home.
Yea….pacers had there thing….but now its gone…cavs in 6 easy
Mitchell is giving me dem Dwade vibes pre Lebron era 🔥🔥🔥
As Spida said, they beat us in two home games, so we'll beat them at home too. GGS for the Cavs. They look incredible when the whole team plays!
Hali 4 points … stop calling him overrated….
lovely stuff
Indy fans about to realize there’s levels to this shit. Cavs had all their guys tonight for the first time and we smoked them in their city. If Cavs guys stay healthy Indy won’t win another game this series. Haha what a turn of events 😮💨 CLE
Fonally the CAVALIER KNICKS-STYLED THE PACERS 😅😅😅😅
The stupid banner is back at the end of the game……. I thought for a moment it's resolved
Nice, very nice.
Donovan 🤯😮💨
This I more like the Cavs we have been seeing all season. This is a statement game and hopefully can make this series more exciting! 🔥
Garland and Mitchell gonna end up being one of the best backcourts in the league definitely gonna be a top 5 backcourt next season
Don't let Donovan Mitchell be the next Kevin Garnett. Soo much potential but only had one ring.
clevelend lebih baik ketimbang lakers musim ini
Crap is rigged they just don't wanna refund game 5 or 6 tickets. So they extend the series No 🧢
Ngl I find this announcer’s voice annoying
Refs stole this game from the Pacers
I don't watch any or want any specific team to win, but I just know that Pacers' McConnell annoying as fuck. His face looks like it xD
Halibut once again prove he is overrated 😂
