Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers – FULL GAME 3 HIGHLIGHTS | May 9, 2025 NBA Playoffs
Indiana a two- series lead. Here is Garland shoveling to Allen. Good looking possession here. Stress connects on a three to securing the defensive glass. They went through some film on it and again it’s a problem. This time allars and another in the running for six man of the year. Here’s Strus attacking the close out. Strus a tough take and it ain’t Cleveland. They have numbers. Mitchell shovels. Garland fakes, dishes in the corner. Strus a three. You bet. Here’s Mitchell at 48 in game two. The swim move. Couldn’t hook it in. All in the rebound and the put back. Able to alter that attempt from Seakkum. Mitchell a three is good. So much pressure on Donovan Mitchell in the first two games playing without Darius Garland. Here’s Mitchell spinning into the paint, exploding and finishing. How about that move from Donovan Mitchell plus the foul? Now we’re used to seeing Donovan Mitchell with highlight dunks. But this finish will absolutely 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. You can get another one on him and get him out of the game because they know how dangerous he can be off the bench. Garland connects on a three. Cleveland is four of five from three. That was Kenny Atinson’s number one key today. Make shots. Turner is doing that. The offense also a defensive presence. Mobly couldn’t finish. Neither could Jerome. Here comes McConnell with haste. The lob. Turner the finish. 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. Moley gets a clean look and drills it from three. Nemhard in. Hallebertton gets a rest. Mathan gets free and reverses it home off their fifth of the opening quarter. Garland dancing, dishing, and Moy the slam. Got to chalk that 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 Shepard. You bet. Tie game. DeAndre Hunter then seemingly in pain afterwards, grimacing as he comes back up the floor. Seakob takes advantage. Five on four. Here’s Mitchell. Mitchell dishes to the corner. Strus wide open. Connects. He just two of 18 from three entering tonight’s game. He’s one of three tonight. Mitchell sidstepping three is good. Path of the Olympics and the way it affected him at the beginning of this season. Kind of just reading too much negativity and having to throughout this year’s playoff vote. with two game winners. Allen the offensive rebound. What a dish. Jared Allen with completely dominated this second. A 19-point lead facing a two- hole. Matherine finishes plus the foul. Stru one short. Allen on the offensive glass and Moy as well. Here’s Merrill. Catch fire and hit from three. Allen off to Struce. Darlin can’t fire. Megan Mitchell on a three. The hand of Evan Mobley coming in to try to block that shot. Garland wiggling through traffic. Off to Allen. Allen with the step on Turner. And Dean Wade to go back to their natural positions where they’re not having to be relied upon to be starters. He Smith buries the three. Indiana had missed 13 straight threes before that make. Here’s Mitchell in the corner. Connects. 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 still struggling even though he’s coming up with block shots and buckets. Strus turns the corner and hammers it down. Coming into this game in the seven playoff games, they have five guys averaging 16 or more points. And here’s the role of many of them getting out of transition and making plays. See Miles Turner going to the scorers table. Here’s Neymar. Another three is good. Indiana showing signs of life in this third. An 112 run. Mitchell gets bumped, finishes, puts the foul. 24-point Cleveland lead. Indiana had gone on an 11-2 run, cut it to 15, but Cleveland has responded with a 9 run and at least stopping one point from the pace. DeAndre Hunter back in for Cleveland. Here’s Strus open it up to Moy. Here comes Mattherin off the top in the three. McConnell bats it alive into the corner. Mattherin connects. Shot clock turned off. Mitchell lost it. Able to flag it down and lay it up and in. 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. Four fouls in the first half has managed to avoid his fifth so far in the second. Oh, nice dish. Topin to Seiakum. Don’t try to save the lead and become passive. Toppin finds Seakam reversing it in. Here’s Tophin. Finds the cutter. McConnell has played some big crowd wanting a foul. Didn’t get it. Toppin finds McConnell. He got it. Here’s McConnell speeding into the lane. They need it. Ziakum has it. Thank you, Angel. Merryill unable to hit the three. Here’s Mitchell. But that was a smart shot by Merill for this reason, which Donovan Mitchell does. And then, of course, ends up turning it into a bucket. Here’s Matin jittering, able to finish. And Rick Carl is going to continue to attack that match up with Darius Garland knowing that he’s hobbled and playing with four fouls as Mitchell buries the three. The lead is 14 for Cleveland. Mitchell stops, kicks, Strus. You bet. Strus battling against the pressure. Gets it up to Mitchell. Mitchell soarses in cups it home. Plus the foul. Stress battling against the pressure. Gets it up to Mitchell. Mitchell soarses in. Comes it home. Plus the foul. Playoff Donovan in all his glory. Couldn’t stay in play anymore. Bryant thunders it down. The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the board in the Eastern Conference semifinals. They take game three in authoritative fashion. 126 104 the final What’s that?

Mitchell played like man possessed.
What happened to Hali Magic? I can see Giannis grinning somewhere on his holidays
Quite different when they have a complete lineup
CAVs knew it is the time to get back on the track with Darius.
Pacers fan we still winnin series I want everyone to pay attention when we cut down there 20 point lead to 11 points watch how the referees started helping Donovan Mitchell get to the free throw line multiple times during the 4th quarter to keep his team above 20 points why because the cavaliers biggest weakness is they can't close out fourth quarters they need some type of help to get over the hill And that's with the help of their starting five That's all that needs to be said
haliburton🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haliburton nowhere to be seen, time again for overrated chants?
What a stinker by Halliburton
I am happy cavs showed up if garlend and mobly showed up in early games things would be different get it done cavs
Struss is this team’s X factor, love to see it
