Darius Garland was back on the floor after missing four games because of a toe injury. Evan Mobley, the new Defensive Player of the Year, was back, too, after missing Game 2 with an ankle injury he suffered in the series opener. And DeAndre Hunter, the team's top sixth man, returned from a sprained thumb.

Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter are off the injury report. So are Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton.

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.
