NBA playoffs: Cavaliers get on the board in Game 3 with blowout of Pacers, Donovan Mitchell drops 43 points

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally looked like the Eastern Conference's top team on Friday.

After getting stunned in the first two games of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers, the Cavaliers took care of business with a 126-104 win in Game 3 in front of a hostile Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd. The Pacers still lead the series 2-1.

Donovan Mitchell posted his second straight 40-point game to get Cleveland there, finishing with 43 points on 14-of-29 shooting, plus nine rebounds and five assists.
