The loss was the first for the Cavs on their home floor during the playoffs.
With the series tied at a game a piece, the Cavaliers returned to the friendly confines of Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for Game 3 looking to feed off an electric home crowd.
It's been two months since Dean Wade has been able to suit up for the Cavaliers, as he dealt with a knee strain. He made his long-awaited return to the floor in Game 3 and received a warm greeting from the Cleveland faithful. Ironically one of the last games he played in was against the Celtics back on March 8, on a night where he led a miraculous comeback by dropped 20 points in the fourth quarter.
Getting Mobley involved early was once again a point of emphasis for Cleveland in Game 3 as Mobley found himself involved in a lot of the offensive actions from the jump. He finished the opening stanza with seven points. Went to the break with 11. When the night was over he had 17 and eight boards. It's safe to say these last two games have been two of the best individual outings of Mobley's career, playoff or regular season.
