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."

Hunter added five rebounds, extra length to Cleveland’s zone defense and a shooter the Pacers had to account for on the perimeter (even if he didn’t make any 3-pointers). Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade can guard, but defenses can relax against them.
