tipping off now the deal welcome back to another episode of locked on NBA game night I'm your your host, Cuckahill. That's your other host, Hayes from Locked on Bulls. I'm from Locked on Pistons. Usually we are joined by Gavin, but he has gone this week, so we are joined by Hayes. For today's episode of Lockton NBA Game Night, later on, we will talk about the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are on the verge of doing what I think a lot of people probably expected sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers with an incredible effort from top down of the

roster.

But we are going to start in Detroit and, or not in Detroit, in Cleveland in the series

between Cleveland and Detroit, where Cleveland was able to get their first win of the

series.

They win in game three in Cleveland, a very back and forth game that saw Cleveland

really control the first half of the game.

They win 116 to 109, an incredible fourth quarter from James Hardin.

Had some big time shot to the end of this game, Daven Mitchell, with 35 points, 13, 24,

shooting in this game.

Hey, before we hear from Danny of Lockdown, Caz, what was some of your biggest quick, immediate takeaways from this game? I mean, just that the Cavs seem like they understood the urgency, if they had to get this one tonight. If the Cavs didn't get this one today, they would have been out of the series. I don't care if they could have won the next two games. It shot above 58% from the field overall, which is really good, 38% from three. And it just seemed like they understood better the intensity that they needed to play with in this game. Let's see if they can keep it up. All right. So let's go over here from Danny, who I'm sure is very happy after the Cavs get their first win of the series. Cunningham here at Rocket Arena after the Cavs beat the Detroit Pistons in game 3, 116 to 109. Let's talk about this one for 94 feet. The Cavs had a 17 point lead at one point. They played exceptionally well in the first half. They were shooting it well. Donovan Mitchell had a great start to this game. And everything that could be going well for the calves was going well for the calves. And then they cough up that 17 point lead in the third quarter. They have an atrocious quarter. They then build it back up to seven before they give up five points in the final six seconds to Detroit. But the calves had a really good fourth quarter led by James Hardin in this one. He had nine of his 19 in the fourth quarter, including seven straight points for the calves at one point with less than two minutes left in regulation.

He carried the calves with some clutch plays, got to the basket a couple of times, hit a couple of floaters.

And then also hit a three-pointer over Tobias Harris to really ice this one with under 30 seconds left.

So now the calf trail two games to one.

Game four right back here in Rocket Arena on Monday night.

If they win that one, series gets real interesting.

Season was on the line on Saturday.

Feels like it's on the line again on Monday.
