Cavaliers up 18 going into 4th quarter despite shooting terribly outside of the paint (11/35 on 3s, 0/5 on non-paint 2s, six miss free throws)

Mathurin has done his job. Packed up the whole Cavaliers bench.

Donovan Mitchell's non-Strus shooters have had a rough night

With 6:57 left to play in Game 3 at Indiana Mitchell/Strus: 9/19 3s Rest of Cavaliers: 5/23 3s

James Johnson coming in right now like...

The only team in the semifinals without a win...

Denver can't guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander So this zone is doing to him what it did to Harden -- take SGA out of PnR/isos and bet on Thunderbuddies not shooting them out of it Thunder only 4/15 outside of paint so far.

MVP off in Game 3 at Denver Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 5 points, 2/8 FGs, 0/2 3s, 4:1 AST-TO, +10 in 19:22 Nikola Jokić: 8 points, 2/9 FGs, 0/4 3s, 1:5 AST-TO, -10 in 18:38

Holmgren/Hartenstein: 1/7 FGs in 3rd quarter If those two aren't better in 4th quarter than Thunder are in trouble because Denver is starting to even the glass up.

Jokić is with us tonight from 3

Chet Holmgren's shot is too flat. Just doesn't get enough arc on it

Aaron Gordon again and again and again

The MVP *off* continues with overtime required Through 4 quarters: - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 18 points, 7/22 FGs, 1/6 3s, 3/5 FTs, 7:1 AST-TO, +5 in 39:48 - Nikola Jokić: 16 points, 6/23 FGs, 0/10 3s, 4/4 FTs, 2:8 AST-TO, -4 in 39:04

Thunder are shook and that includes Shai

None of the Thunderbuddies have anything comfortable to go to when it gets tight Holmgren shot dies Dort shot mechanics return to Arizona State Williams handle gets loose Hartenstein floater flutters And all eyes on SGA, whose pullup 3 is limited

Thunder were: - bad in the paint (missed 30 of 58) - bad from the free throw line (missed 7 of 22) - bad in the midrange (missed 8 of 11 non-paint 2s) - bad from 3 (missed 26 of 35) On shots outside the paint, Thunder were 12/46. 26.1%. NBA regular season average: 37.1%

Non J-Dub Thunderbuddies were 1/15 FGs in the 4th quarter of Game 3 at Denver Then Thunder went 1/7 FGs in overtime Wretched offensive performance with the game on the line

It’s not just the 3s & analytics, Law Murray 🤔 said earlier on Garden Report: Celtics Postgame Show. It’s all the shots Tatum is missing.
