25:36И это катастрофик
25:38turn-то-в-вэнтс
25:39here.
25:39What looked like
25:40a stop
25:40ends up
25:41being two
25:41free-throws,
25:42then you
25:42throw it
25:43away.
25:44Тобиас
25:44Харрис
25:45to the
25:45rescue.
25:46Once again,
25:47this guy's
25:47brought in
25:47all-play-offs,
25:48making plays
25:49at the
25:49end
25:49of the
25:50third.
25:53...пresented
25:54by Xfinity.
25:55We've got
25:56a two-point
25:56game
25:57as we
25:57enter
25:57the fourth.
25:58The Cavaliers
25:59down 0-2
26:00in this
26:00best-of-seven
26:01series.
26:01Teams
26:02that have
26:02gone down
26:020-3
26:03have never
26:04come back
26:04and won
26:05a series.
26:05This is a
26:06do-or-die
26:0712-minute
26:07for Cleveland
26:08with Cunningham
26:09back on the
26:09floor,
26:10floating with a
26:10triple-double.
26:11He'll pull it.
26:12Doesn't get
26:13the roll.
26:13And Mitchell
26:14swells up
26:15his eighth
26:16rebound of
26:16the night.
26:17Now he'll
26:18attack.
26:18Mitchell to
26:19the rim
26:19and he floats
26:20it up
26:20and in
26:20off the
26:21window.
26:23I like how
26:23Donovan Mitchell
26:24attacked before
26:25that Pistons
26:26defense could
26:26get back
26:27and get
26:27set.
26:29Defense!
26:31Defense!
26:31Defense!
26:32Defense!
26:32Defense!
26:32Now it's
26:33Cunningham's turn.
26:34Working right
26:35against Mitchell.
26:36He'll float
26:36it up.
26:36He comes
26:37up short.
26:38Cunningham
26:38another board.
26:39Outside green
26:40out there
26:40with a
26:40Burt Robinson
26:41and now
26:42Dern with a
26:42touch.
26:43Bounce it!
26:43Lavert on the
26:44cut!
26:45But that's
26:45a rebound
26:46that Evan
26:46Mobley
26:47has got to
26:48bring down.
26:48You're right
26:49there.
26:49You're in
26:50the position
26:50and then
26:51you end
26:51up after
26:52not securing
26:53it.
26:53You give
26:53up a cut
26:54and a dunk.
26:56Detroit has
26:57talked about
26:57what they've
26:58done to be
26:59so successful
27:00in the fourth
27:00quarters.
27:01J.B.
27:01Bickerstep has
27:02talked about
27:02moment by
27:03moment.
27:03Possession
27:04by possession.
27:05Only focusing
27:05on what's
27:06in front of
27:06you.
27:07Cleveland
27:07trying to
27:08counter it
27:08here tonight.
27:10Mitchell
27:11can't hit the
27:11three.
27:11Back tap
27:12by Mobley.
27:13Second chance
27:13for Harden.
27:14Cunningham
27:15cuts him off.
27:16Ten to
27:17shoot.
27:17Harden with
27:17ten points,
27:18six assists.
27:20Six to work
27:20with.
27:21Harden on the
27:21drive.
27:22Knock away.
27:23Off the
27:24ricochet.
27:24It's Merrill.
27:26And he comes
27:27up short.
27:27Another back
27:28tap this time.
27:28Harden.
27:30Third chance
27:31for Cleveland.
27:32Mitchell
27:32cross on
27:33Laverte.
27:35Schroeder.
27:36Six to
27:36shoot.
27:37Lost his
27:37footing.
27:38Now it's
27:39Mobley with
27:40three to work
27:40with.
27:41Mobley's
27:41going to have
27:41to put one
27:42up.
27:42And he
27:42had a
27:43strip
27:43on a
27:43foul.
27:44It's
27:45Cunningham
27:45picking up
27:46number four
27:46with point
27:47four on
27:47the clock.
27:49I'm not
27:50sure right
27:50there.
27:51I thought
27:51Cade Cunningham
27:52did a pretty
27:52good job
27:53there.
27:53First of all
27:54he guarded
27:54three people
27:55in that
27:55possession.
27:57Oh no
27:57I stand
27:57corrected.
27:58Got the
27:58arm of
27:59Mobley
28:00on the
28:01drive there.
28:03Smart
28:03recognition
28:04Mobley
28:04not settling.
28:05Put the ball
28:06on the
28:06floor.
28:07Be athletic.
28:07Get to
28:08the free
28:08throw line.
28:09And of
28:10course
28:10draw a
28:11foul on
28:11Cunningham.
28:12He has
28:12struggled at
28:13the free
28:13throw line
28:14so far
28:14today.
28:15He is
28:16three for
28:16eight.
28:17And the
28:17Cavs are
28:18ten for
28:18eighteen
28:18as a
28:19team.
28:20The
28:20O-goal
28:21percentages
28:21have dipped
28:22in a big
28:22way in
28:23this second
28:23half.
28:24Mobley
28:25with a
28:25big
28:25run
28:25making
28:25a
28:26three-point
28:26game.
28:30Playing

28:39Ten
28:39points,
28:40six

28:44Cleveland
28:45everybody

28:49Cunningham
28:50has been
28:50missed her
28:50fourth quarter
28:51in games
28:52one and
28:52two.
28:53Robinson
28:54Curl
28:55stop,
28:56feed,
28:57green,
28:58three,
28:58and he
28:59puts it
28:59down,
29:00Javante
29:01Green!
29:02Gotta love
29:03Javante
29:04Green,
29:04what he brings
29:05defensively,
29:06and the
29:06confidence to
29:07knock down
29:08shot from
29:08the perimeter,
29:09big time
29:10shot from
29:11Adam,
29:11from Green.
29:12He was
29:130 for
29:133 from
29:153 to
29:15start this
29:15game.
29:16Merrill's
29:16response is
29:17there!
29:18I love
29:19that two-man
29:20action,
29:20Sam Merrill
29:21sets the
29:22ball screen,
29:23always a
29:23threat to
29:24let it
29:24go from
29:24three,
29:25picking
29:26Mock,
29:26you better
29:26handle the
29:27coverage,
29:27he's way
29:28too open
29:29there in
29:29the corner.
29:29Not a
29:30game match,
29:30strip by
29:31Schroeder,
29:31out of
29:32bounds,
29:32stand
29:33here.
29:37I mean,
29:38right here,
29:39the three-point
29:39shooting,
29:40not a lot
29:40of space.
29:43Vontae
29:43Green letting
29:44it fly from
29:44the corner,
29:45and then a
29:45little screen,
29:46slip to
29:46screen,
29:47Robinson tries
29:48to show
29:48on Mitchell,
29:50Merrill doesn't
29:50need much
29:51time at
29:52all.
29:52Merrill did
29:52a great job
29:53of getting
29:53away.
29:54He slipped
29:54that thing,
29:55and he was
29:55beelined to
29:56the corner.
29:57I don't know
29:57how he got
29:57on balance.
29:58The spin,
29:59Darren couldn't
30:00score.
30:05Mitchell put
30:06the head down,
30:07and he spins
30:07at home.
30:10Timeout
30:10to Troy.
30:13Good things
30:14continue to
30:15happen when
30:16Donovan Mitchell
30:17plays in the
30:18open floor.
30:19Give this ball
30:20to the man
30:20the ball,
30:21and get out
30:21of his way.
30:22He is a
30:23one-man fast
30:24break,
30:25and he is
30:25willing himself
30:26to the rim.
30:29Act the rug.
30:31Cleveland's
30:32trying to get
30:32on the board,
30:33and Donovan
30:33Mitchell's doing
30:34his part.
30:34He's got 30
30:35points today,
30:36second straight
30:36game with 30
30:37or more.
30:38Kate Cunningham
30:38off to that
30:39slow start.
30:40The third
30:40quarter was
30:41where he made
30:42his money
30:43here today.
30:4420 points,
30:44nine rebounds,
30:45and eight assists.
30:46Home sweet home
30:47for the Cavaliers,
30:48trying to stay
30:48perfect at Rocket
30:49Arena in the
30:50postseason.
30:514-0 in that
30:52first round.
30:53They have yet to
30:53win a game away
30:54from Cleveland.
30:55They have yet to
30:56lose a game in this
30:57building so far in
30:58the playoffs.
30:59They have a six-point
31:00cushion with 9-11
31:02to play.
31:04Trying to make it
31:052-1 in this
31:06best-of-seven series
31:07with a right to go
31:08to the Eastern Conference
31:09final on the line.
31:11Fend off, and
31:12Schroeder goes down
31:12hard.
31:13He wants the
31:14immediate review
31:14against Jenkins.
31:16Took a shot to
31:18the throat.
31:18You could hear the
31:19thud when he hit
31:20the ground, and
31:21now both teams
31:22will be sent back
31:23to their respective
31:24sides.
31:26We saw those two
31:27earlier in the
31:28first half kind
31:29of have words,
31:30and Dennis Schroeder
31:31picking him up
31:32right there.
31:34Jenkins extending
31:35it on.
31:35Now meets the
31:36criteria for a
31:36flared foul.
31:39They just saw it
31:40at Rocket Arena.
31:41Schroeder did a nice
31:43job of maybe
31:43showcasing where
31:45the competition
31:45came from a little
31:46bit.
31:47Well, he did play
31:47in L.A.
31:48Okay.
31:49A lot of lights.
31:50But I'm not, you
31:51know, it also looks
31:52as though there was
31:53some contact.
31:53Whether he made
31:55contact with the
31:56neck there remains
31:57to be seen, but
31:59certainly Schroeder
32:00so important to
32:01this team in this
32:01game, and I'm
32:03assuming he'll be
32:04okay and get back
32:05out there.
32:06But that was
32:06disjointed from the
32:07jump.
32:08It was hard to get
32:09the ball in.
32:09Cade had to come
32:10get it.
32:10You get it back to
32:11Jenkins, and just
32:12the pressure of
32:13Cleveland there, it
32:14really threw a
32:15wrench into Detroit
32:16bringing the ball up.
32:17It goes back again
32:18to that first time
32:19that Kenny Atkinson
32:20ever got to see
32:21Dennis Schroeder.
32:22They drafted him
32:23in Atlanta.
32:23He came to that
32:24optional offseason
32:26first workout, and
32:27they scrimmaged the
32:28Hawks that were in
32:28attendance, and he
32:29was picking up
32:30Jeff Teague full
32:31court during those
32:32optional scrimmages,
32:34and Jeff said,
32:34Jeff liked that.
32:35He said, what are we
32:36doing right now?
32:37But Kenny Atkinson
32:38said, this is just all
32:39this guy knows is to
32:40be an irritant to pick
32:41you up.
32:42He said they
32:42needed nasty on this
32:44team, and Schroeder
32:45has provided that
32:46nasty really all season
32:47since coming over, and
32:48certainly here in game
32:49three.
32:51He does get them in the
32:52game.
32:53Yeah, he does get them
32:53a little bit.
32:59Schroeder initiated this
33:00back and forth during the
33:02first quarter.
33:02After he do, it's been
33:03determined that the
33:04offensive player, although
33:05he extended his arm,
33:06nothing rose to the level
33:08of a flagrant foul.
33:10There was unfortunate
33:11contact to the neck during
33:13the speed of the play, and
33:15therefore, we'll move on
33:16from here.
33:17That's the softer side of
33:19Scott Falk.
33:20We saw the kind.
33:22Unfortunate contact.
33:23It was unfortunate, but it
33:25wasn't excessive.
33:27That's an excellent
33:28description.
33:30So, J.B.
33:30Bickerstaff's team doesn't
33:32have to deal with a
33:32flagrant call.
33:33Instead, they just have to
33:34get back defensively.
33:36Cleveland will look to
33:36extend what is a two
33:37possession lead.
33:42Mobley looking inside.
33:43Schroeder was open for a
33:44second.
33:45Now, Mobley will try.
33:46Take flight again.
33:47And float it home.
33:48And I like how Sam
33:50Merrill came over and set a
33:51screen, not just on
33:54Mobley's man, but on his
33:55man, too.
33:56And Mobley able to turn the
33:57corner for that high-percented
33:59shot at the rim.
34:0013 points, six rebounds,
34:02three assists for Mobley.
34:05Cunningham's turn.
34:05And 12-4th quarter points
34:07in game two.
34:08And a foul is going to be
34:09called on the floor as
34:11Mitchell got tangled up
34:12with Cunningham.
34:14Sam Merrill is such a
34:15dangerous screener.
34:16The back screen is first,
34:17and then it's the inverted
34:18ball screen.
34:19That's kind of what you were
34:20talking about there, Grant.
34:21He's getting Duncan
34:22Robinson.
34:23He's trying to pick off
34:24Paul Reed, and then Cade
34:26Cunningham, always so
34:28methodical, using his size.
34:30And, boy, Donovan Mitchell
34:31did not like that call.
34:35Eight and a half to play.
34:37Here in game three.
34:39Reed tried.
34:40Going right to the right for a
34:42change for three.
34:45I'll tell you what, I love the
34:47production from Paul Reed.
34:49When he gets in there, he makes
34:51things happen.
34:52And right here, they get the ball
34:54out of Cade's hand, what they've
34:55been doing most of the night.
34:56But he goes right into the body
34:58of Evan Mobley, drawing that
35:00fourth foul.
35:02And, Grant, that long step.
35:05Yeah.
35:05It just gets Evan Mobley a little
35:07bit early up in the air.
35:09It's just a smart play from
35:11Reed.
35:12Threw off the timing just
35:14enough.
35:15Bobby, you mentioned every time
35:16this guy gets an opportunity,
35:17he plays well.
35:19Didn't play either of the first
35:20two games in Detroit, but has
35:22played in the second half as
35:23opposed to Isaiah Stewart.
35:24And has come in and provided
35:26again that jolt.
35:28He's a plus six in six minutes.
35:34Five-point game.
35:38Harden on Harris.
35:41Two veterans going at it.
35:43Harden drive.
35:45Harden finish.
35:51He's got a dozen.
35:58Jenkins stops, feeds, Reed going
36:01right back to work.
36:02On the fade.
36:03And he floats it home.
36:06He's in the bag right here,
36:08Graham.
36:08I mean, it's been the Paul
36:09Reed show here.
36:12Nine quick points off the
36:13bank.
36:14Schroeder stops on a dime.
36:17And a timeout's going to be
36:19called with Merrill caught in
36:20the corner by Robinson.
36:237.32 to play.
36:25Fourth quarter of game three.
36:26We've got a five-point ball game
36:28at Rocket Arena.
36:30With 7.32 to play in game three
36:34of this best-of-seven Eastern
36:35Conference semifinal matchup.
36:37These two teams have battled it out.
36:40It felt like Cleveland had
36:41established the momentum in the
36:42second quarter.
36:43Third quarter was all Detroit.
36:45It all leads to this right here.
36:46Cleveland trying to get on the
36:47board and avoid an 0-3 hole.
36:49Well, we talked in the opening.
36:51Who's going to be the best star
36:52player in this fourth quarter?
36:54Donovan Mitchell, Cade Cunningham's
36:56done that the first two games.
36:58Can Donovan build his team here
37:00in a must-win game three?
37:04Out of the timeout.
37:06Mowgli.
37:07Spray it out.
37:08Schroeder's three.
37:09Cash!
37:11Well, Schroeder has been huge
37:13in this game.
37:14It's spreading the floor.
37:15Obviously, he's a pet.
37:16But again, the gravity of a Merrill.
37:18Now you hit the roller, and it's
37:20that spray out to the perimeter.
37:22Schroeder coming through.
37:23Extends the lead to eight.
37:25Robinson off the screen.
37:27His three.
37:27Banks home!
37:30That was a heck of a rear
37:32contest for Merrill.
37:33I don't know how Duncan Robinson
37:34made that.
37:37Schroeder's got a little pop in
37:39his step right now.
37:40Back outside, Harden.
37:42The three-guard lineup for Cleveland.
37:44And Harden threw it away.
37:47Jenkins on the run.
37:48Spins.
37:49Robinson come.
37:50Drive.
37:51Robinson float.
37:52Too strong.
37:53Reeds there.
37:54And he's fouled.
37:55Mowgli is going to pick up
37:57his fifth personal.
38:01Coming out of the timeout,
38:03Detroit right here
38:04with the beautiful play
38:05for that man,
38:06Duncan Robinson.
38:07And you said it best.
38:08Merrill with a great contest there.
38:11And it didn't matter.
38:12Robinson got those feet organized.
38:14Baked it in.
38:16And then once again,
38:17the turnovers coming at the wrong time.
38:20Reed on the glass,
38:22active body.
38:23And that's now
38:25still fouled for Evan Mobley.
38:28How good has Paul Reed been
38:30in the late third
38:31into the fourth quarter?
38:33Six-year pro out of DePaul's
38:34the 58th pick back in 2020.
38:37And he's playing like a star right now.
38:39And he's played a lot of men.
38:40He's in Philadelphia.
38:41Backed up.
38:42Joel Embiid has started.
38:43So he's been around,
38:45knows how to play,
38:46and has given them a huge lift
38:48here in this fourth.
38:49He's one of those guys
38:50that is just the consummate profession.
38:52When you call his number,
38:54it doesn't matter if he played
38:55a game ago,
38:56five games ago,
38:57ten games ago,
38:58whatever he's done in his past,
39:00it doesn't matter.
39:01He just comes out on the floor
39:03and he produces all the time.
39:05Makes it a three-point game.
39:07He's talked about how much
39:08he's loved being embraced
39:09by the city of Detroit.
39:10Feels like he vibes
39:12with their identity
39:13of tough lunch pail.
39:15Just work your tail off
39:17and let the rest happen.
39:19Hardy.
39:21Bounce it.
39:22Merrill pump.
39:23Fly by.
39:24Three ball.
39:25And the rebound of Thompson.
39:31Reid on the outside.
39:33Tried to get it to Robinson.
39:34Guarded by Mitchell.
39:36Bounce it.
39:36Reid.
39:37Full head of steam.
39:38And it's an offensive foul.
39:42Merrill with his second charge
39:43taken today.
39:51He's going to try to euro around this here.
39:53Sam Merrill,
39:54he's posted up.
39:56He does take that right through the chest.
39:58Merrill's been willing to give up the body.
40:00Does it there for the stop.
40:04Coaching the midway point of the four.
40:07Bounce.
40:07Mitchell.
40:08Kick.
40:08Extra.
40:10Schroeder pump.
40:11Drive.
40:11The fake.
40:12The feed.
40:13And out on the foul.
40:14Against Reid.
40:19And the Cavs offense is at its best
40:21when they're able to get into the paint there.
40:23If you see the backdoor cut.
40:25Help side come in.
40:27Swing, swing.
40:27And I like Schroeder attacking the closeout.
40:31Drawing the foul.
40:32So when that ball is moving around
40:34and you're getting dribble penetration,
40:36Cleveland tough to defend.
40:41Make a look at the upcoming playoff schedule
40:43with this series.
40:45Retroding Cleveland game four
40:46right back here on NBC and Peacock.
40:488 p.m. on Monday, May 11th.
40:50If necessary, game five would be Wednesday.
40:53Game six, Friday.
40:54Game seven, Sunday.
40:56TBD.
40:57For more on these games,
40:58please go to NBA.com
40:59or visit the NBA app.
41:02Looked like initially Mitchell was going to sit.
41:03Instead, he stays out there.
41:06It's Merrill, Struess, Harden, Mitchell, and Allen
41:08with Schroeder now on the bench.
41:09And a four-point game.
41:12Getting close to that clutch time score
41:14within five, five minutes or less remaining.
41:16Both these teams in the regular season.
41:18Excellent in those games.
41:19Detroit's been superb in the playoffs.
41:22Because of that guy, Kate Cunningham with a middie.
41:25Mr. Fourth quarter for Detroit.
41:27When they need a bucket,
41:29Kate Cunningham consistently in these playoffs delivers.
41:32His first points in the fourth tonight
41:34after a dozen in game two.
41:37Five and a half to play.
41:40Mitchell on Harris.
41:42Six to shoot.
41:43Mitchell tried.
41:44Stop.
41:45Pop.
41:46Couldn't hit it.
41:48Good job by Tobias Harris there.
41:50They were on the different matchup from Thompson.
41:52He gets the stop.
41:53Chance of Tire take the lead.
41:58Cunningham.
42:00Robinson.
42:00Escaped dribble.
42:02Merrill stayed with him.
42:04Harris the open man.
42:06Looking for three.
42:08And just a great job from a Sar Thompson.
42:12Dribble handoff.
42:13Reading the defense.
42:14Getting the ball in that baseline.
42:16And finding his open teammate.
42:18Sar Thomas has playmaking ability.
42:20Detroit now five of six from three in the second half.
42:25Merrill.
42:25Looking to attack on Cunningham.
42:27Mitchell on the outside.
42:29Merrill hits the deck.
42:30Mitchell into a crowd.
42:31And he draws the foul.
42:37And I just love a Sar Thompson.
42:40As you saw first of all.
42:41Cave Cunningham.
42:42Just using that size and that strength.
42:44Create a little bit of separation.
42:46And they're able to get the easy two.
42:48And then a Sar Thompson.
42:49Dribble handoff here.
42:50Gets the ball back on the baseline.
42:52Just great patience.
42:54Recognition.
42:55The defense falls asleep.
42:56And Harris continues to deliver.
42:58But Thompson is getting so good at stacking actions.
43:02And making the defense continue to have to guard.
43:05Getting that ball from side to side.
43:07He does a phenomenal job of playing to his strengths.
43:11Paul Reed sits.
43:12He was a plus 12 in 10 minutes.
43:1511 points.
43:164 of 4 shooting 3 rebounds.
43:18And now Duren's going to come back in.
43:21It'll be the starting five for Detroit.
43:23Thompson, Harris, Duren, Robinson, and Cunningham.
43:25Cleveland has Mobley, Allen, Mitchell, Harden, and Struess in a tie game.
43:32Cavaliers looking to avoid an 0-3 deficit.
43:35Cleveland trying to take full control of this series.
43:38Come on, Cleveland!
43:41And Detroit can push their way to that 3-0 lead.
43:4732 points for Mitchell.
43:504-20 to play.
43:52Cunningham.
43:53Robinson hits the deck away from the ball.
43:55Cunningham crosses on Mobley.
43:57Right into the body.
43:58Outside, it's Thompson.
44:00A three.
44:00Way off.
44:02They are loading off of Sar Thompson.
44:05They're giving that up all day.
44:07Mitchell drive on Cunningham.
44:09Oh, Thompson, the recovery!
44:10Talk about loading up.
44:14Sar Thompson.
44:16Oh, my.
44:17Just coming from the weak side there.
44:19Good defense.
44:20Sar Thompson head by the rim on that block.
44:24Like a pogo stick.
44:2815 to shoot for Cleveland.
44:31Will Harden step up in winning time?
44:34Will it be Mitchell with his 32 points?
44:36Or another hero for the Cavs?
44:39It could be Struess.
44:40Not that time.
44:43Under four to play in game three.
44:49Harris posts on Mitchell.
44:52Back down.
44:54Harris.
44:55Spin.
44:56And he couldn't score.
44:57Thompson has hands on it, but it's out of bounds.
45:00And Thompson got the matchup he wanted.
45:02The smaller Mitchell on him.
45:04Great footwork spinning to the baseline.
45:07Had a shot right there.
45:08Just could not convert.
45:11Tobias Harris with 21 points.
45:13His eighth streak game with 20 or more.
45:15Kick it out.
45:17Good ball movement.
45:18Hard in the drive.
45:19The float.
45:20Allen.
45:21The follow!
45:23Jared Allen pulling the rim!
45:32Robinson three.
45:33That's good!
45:35What an answer.
45:36Duncan Robinson is just flying off these pin downs.
45:40And if you're not step for step with them, what a quick release to get it up.
45:44And an offensive foul is going the other way.
45:47Max Struess with the extra contact on the screen.
45:57Getting on the glass for Cleveland.
46:00Second chance opportunities right there.
46:03The floater by Harden.
46:04Duren comes over to help.
46:05Nobody helps the helper.
46:07Allen able to convert.
46:09And then right there, Struess gets a little frustrated there.
46:12Trying to push Robinson off him.
46:14And now he picks up his fifth foul.
46:17And I think when you're guarding Robinson, you've got a top block.
46:20Absolutely.
46:20I can't let him get his feet set.
46:22So good at moving without the ball.
46:29Cunningham is one rebound away from a triple-double.
46:3122, 9, and 10.
46:37Under three to play.
46:39Cunningham on Mitchell.
46:42Cunningham.
46:42Fades.
46:43And the rebound up high to Mobley.
46:50Mitchell, the hesitation.
46:52The step back.
46:54Struess got there first.
46:56Batted it to the outside and out of bounds.
47:00And I think Cleveland could have got a better shot on that possession.
47:04I know Mitchell's capable, but working the defense, getting some touches side to side.
47:11That's when their offense is bad.
47:13That's when it's popping around.
47:15You get the court into some rotation.
47:20Oh, it's engulfed.
47:22Struess the steal.
47:24And the finish.
47:25The cookies from Max Struess.
47:32Here we go.
47:35A massive play from Mad Max.
47:40Two-point Cleveland lead.
47:42The fend-off during.
47:43Cunningham swiped by Harden.
47:46Inside another steal.
47:48Allen takes it away.
47:50Mitchell the drive.
47:51Mitchell floats.
47:53Couldn't finish.
47:53Allen trying to scoop it up.
47:56Robinson diving for it.
47:58Allen hits the deck.
47:59And Detroit has it.
48:01Under two to play.
48:03Cunningham into the body.
48:04Outside Harris.
48:05And he couldn't save it.
48:08Boy, the Cleveland defense has been up to the task.
48:12I don't know how Struess.
48:14He just snatches this thing out of the air.
48:16Now it's an opportunity in the open floor.
48:20And then Jared Allen with the steal.
48:22Cleveland going right back at you.
48:25And the Cavs defense on that last play.
48:27Grant bending, but not breaking.
48:33Both teams with two timeouts remaining.
48:35A minute 45 to play.
48:37Each team with a foul to give.
48:40Cleveland still has a challenge remaining as well.
48:4410 to shoot now for Harden.
48:45He's got 12 tonight.
48:47Dancing on Harris.
48:49Harden on the drive.
48:50Step away Harden.
48:51Bullseye!
48:53James Harden in a similar situation two nights ago.
48:58Stepping up down the stretch with a nice isolation step back.
49:02Vintage Mr. Harden.
49:08Timeout Detroit with 129 to play.
49:11There was so much talk about the beard.
49:14And while it wasn't a volume night, this is a huge bucket.
49:17And I like how Kenny Atkinson goes right back to his guy.
49:21Shows that I believe in you.
49:23Believe in what you can do.
49:24You were brought here for these moments.
49:27Struggled mightily in game two in the fourth quarter.
49:31Harden with that big time shot.
49:33And the defense of Cleveland stepping up when they needed it most.
49:38Coming up on NBA Showtime.
49:40Presented by AT&T.
49:42Maria and the Hall of Famers are in studio.
49:44They're going to recap everything that we've seen here from Cleveland.
49:48And look ahead to the rest of the postseason.
49:50Including another game later tonight in the NBA.
49:54Clubs games this season mentioned that these were two of the best in the NBA.
49:57But in the playoffs, it's been Detroit, who's been the better of the two.
50:01With four wins compared to the four Cleveland losses.
50:03And Robbie, there was so much talk about how well Detroit handled games one and two in the fourth.
50:07A lot of credit too here to Cleveland for the way that they've managed the storm in the second half.
50:12Absolutely.
50:12Donovan Mitchell having a big time performance here.
50:15And then you think about just the defensive plays when it seemed like things were going sideways here.
50:21Cleveland was up for the task force, some turnovers, able to get out in transition.
50:26And they have answered a heck of a Detroit run here in the second half.
50:31See the leadership from Dennis Ruder.
50:33Making sure Mitchell is focused.
50:41Well, Rocket Arena has been a paradise for the Cavaliers in this postseason.
50:46Undefeated in the first round 4-0.
50:48Trying to make it 5 with a win here to make it a 2-1 series.
50:53In this Eastern Conference semifinal.
50:58Cunningham drive.
50:59Cunningham gets upstairs!
51:03Right over the throw with a massive finish!
51:07Grant, they just didn't handle the slip there.
51:10And Robinson puts you in a bind.
51:12But Cade Cunningham, you clear the runway.
51:14He goes up and hangs on rims.
51:17Two-point game.
51:20Harden on Robinson.
51:21Harden wants it.
51:23The cross!
51:24He lost him!
51:25Harden!
51:26To Beard!
51:27With the bucket!
51:30Harden!
51:32Goal!
51:35Cunningham!
51:36Three-bow!
51:38Cade is called!
51:44In for Mitchell with under 50 seconds remaining.
51:47It's a one-point game.
51:48And they're going to foul.
51:49That was the foul to give for Detroit with 45.5 on the clock.
51:55Right here.
51:56Not communicating on defense.
51:59And fro-to-fro.
52:01Cade winning that confrontation.
52:03And then the floater from James Harden right back at you.
52:07The pull-up three.
52:09The guards are stepping up big time here down the stretch.
52:14This feels like Harden's moment once again.
52:16They're putting the ball in the hands of the vet.
52:20And letting the beard cook.
52:2230 seconds left.
52:23Harden dancing on Harris.
52:25Harden step back three.
52:26Splash!
52:30James Harden!
52:34James Harden!
52:39And it's right!
52:42The Cavaliers by four.
52:45And it's been the beard stepping up to the plate.
52:49Well, the shot-making here on both sides has been absurd.
52:54But this is just one-on-one.
52:56James Harden, he's dancing with the basketball.
52:59Stepping on back and just let it fly.
53:02So much criticism of games one and two.
53:05But give Harden a bunch of credit.
53:07At 36 years old, he has absolutely brought it here in game three.
53:13He's got the last seven for the Cavaliers.
53:16He heard the chatter.
53:18Kenny Atkinson made sure to remind him, we've got your back.
53:20Go BU.
53:21We want isolation basketball on the fourth.
53:24They've got it over the last couple minutes.
53:26Well, you knew he was relaxed before the game.
53:28He was shooting half-court shots.
53:30Yes, he was.
53:31Tyrese Proctor, but stepping up big time.
53:34He's doing it a variety of ways.
53:37Downhill, floater, step back mid-range, pull-up three.
53:41Harden, fourth-quarter, Beard here in Cleveland.
53:44So 25.9 on the clock.
53:46Detroit now down by four.
53:48He's going to have to work quick.
53:49Where do you think they're going?
53:51I'm guessing Cade Cunningham probably is involved here.
53:54I think that slip screen with Cunningham and Robinson has worked.
54:02Put the ball in Cade's hand.
54:03Let him go to work.
54:04Cleveland does have a foul to give.
54:07Well, this is where, Noah, Cleveland has got to communicate out.
54:10If Robinson's going up, we have got to be aware that he loves to slip out of that.
54:16It's got to be highly communicated.
54:18You have to know your personnel in these types of situations.
54:21Detroit does not have a timeout remaining.
54:23So Cunningham is going to have to get it in cleanly with Wade shadowing his every move.
54:29Cunningham, Harris, Jenkins, Duren, and Robinson the pot.
54:35Wade, Mowling, Mitchell, Harden, and Allen are switching everything on this inbound.
54:39Get it in.
54:40Robinson, Turner, and Fires short.
54:43Allen rebound.
54:44Mitchell trying to dribble away from Cunningham, and he's fouled.
54:56I'll tell you, guarding that inbounds play really to perfection right there.
55:01Harden and Mitchell switching there.
55:03And great defense by Harden.
55:06We've seen the offense down the stretch.
55:08Now taking the challenge, contesting without fouling, and maybe even getting a piece on that block.
55:13And the thing is, though, there, Grant, Duncan Robinson didn't have to shoot.
55:17You've got to go fast, but that is, if you're not open, I would have been totally good with him.
55:22Get it to Cade.
55:23Let him go make a play.
55:26Mitchell now at 33 points.
55:30They can taste getting on the board in this series here in Cleveland.
55:38They've turned it back to Believeland.
55:40Mitchell missed the second, and an offensive rebound.
55:43A backbreaker for the Pistons.
55:45Mitchell draining the clock, and he's fouled by Robinson with 15.3.
55:50And it's kind of fitting, considering that happened in game two.
55:55The first, where Detroit was able to rebound off of a free throw there to extend the possession.
56:02And, of course, in the hands of Donovan Mitchell.
56:05How about Mitchell and Harden and how they have played here in this game?
56:1634 for Mitchell.
56:20These two heavily scrutinized over the first two games of this series.
56:24Certainly Harden.
56:25Mitchell took his own hits over the first game and a half, certainly.
56:31But they have provided everything that this team could have needed from them.
56:35And Mitchell makes it a seven-point Cleveland lead.
56:41Cunningham with 27, 10, and 10.
56:44Nine seconds left.
56:45Cunningham through the contact.
56:47Way off the mark.
56:49Mitchell with a rebound.
56:51And it's all over.
56:52The Cavaliers get on the board of this best of seven and remain perfect at home.
56:58It was the Rockets' legend that guided them to a win at Rocket Arena.
57:03Cavaliers 116, Pistons 109.
57:22There's no place like home right now for that deal and for this team.
57:265-0 in this building.
57:28And James Harden turning back the clock late is with Ashley Shalmany.
57:31All right, James, you've been in the league for a long time.
57:34How did you silence the chatter tonight and have this sort of response in Game 3?
57:39What chatter?
57:40What chatter?
57:41That's exactly the answer to the question.
57:43What chatter?
57:44I play basketball and, you know, whatever this team needs me to do, I'm going to go out there
57:48and do it.
57:49So, you know, letting the game play out.
57:52Fourth quarter, my number was called and I go to work.
57:56But, you know, they made a run up 17.
57:59We've seen it before.
58:00Stay composed.
58:01They win the game and that's what we do.
58:03This team is full of game changers.
58:05What can you say about your teammates?
58:07What words did you share with your teammate Donovan?
58:09I mean, this is basketball.
58:10Like, this is the highest level of basketball.
58:13So, you know, the team is going to make a run.
58:15You know, they're a very good team, especially defensively.
58:17And we just got to get a good shot.
58:18Don't turn the basketball over and rebound the ball.
58:21I think we did a much better job of that tonight.
58:23And we got to be even better going into Game 4.
58:25You guys have been able to protect home court in this postseason.
58:29What was the message ahead of this game tonight when every game is a must win?
58:33One game, each game is its own series.
58:38You know, so, they win two games at home, which we felt like we had two opportunities to win.
58:43And we just didn't do it.
58:44And tonight we did that.
58:45Game 4 is going to be the same way.
58:48We don't expect any of these games to be blowouts.
58:49You know, they're going to be competitive.
58:50So, whoever can lock in and do the small details, we'll get the advantage.
58:55What does this atmosphere make you feel like when you hear this?
58:57We're going to need it for Game 4.
58:59Thank you so much.
59:01Guys.
59:01The patented James Harden walk-off as he walks it off for the Cavaliers.
59:08That three, the difference, 19 points, seven assists, 35 for Donovan Mitchell.
59:13And their final score, 116-109.
