LeBron James Won’t ‘Throw Teammates Under Bus’ After Game 3 Loss
“We’re going to bring it like we (brought) it the first game”. “You’re not going to win many games with 20 turnovers”. “Guys just got to play better, including myself”.
After a fever-dream of a Game 3, the Pacers look to take command of the series in Game 4-here are some things to watch for tonight.
Bogdanovic admitted his key to defending James is staying aggressive, per Mark Monteith of Pacers.com.
Asked to translate, Lue said, “Catch the ball in our spots, don’t push us out to the 3-point line”. Starter Darren Collison and backup Cory Joseph played 528 minutes together in the regular season but just 15 in the first three games of this series. Coach Ty Lou stated after the game that the big man will be good to go for Game 3 on Friday, and Love confirmed that notion, noting that it will hurt, but he’ll wrap it up and play.
And he did not have a whole lot to say in the immediate aftermath of Game 3, either, when in erased a 17-point deficit and then held on for a 92-90 victory over the Cavs. However, Lue revealed in the days that followed the game that he considered Korver to be a part of the “best” lineup the Cavs have.
Forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored 30 points to lift hosts the Indiana Pacers to a come-from-behind 92-90 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who led by 17 at half-time.
Golden State will confirm the first second-round pairing Sunday, as it finishes off the San Antonio Spurs to set up a matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Cavs routinely get MRIs, I’m told, and this one confirmed that no structural damage was done.
The men from Indianapolis have shown resiliency all season and had to do so again to overcome the 17-point deficit they faced in game three.
“As a player you always want to be out there and play with your team”, Hill said.
