The Cleveland Cavaliers may have saved their season on Saturday by defeating the Detroit Pistons in Game 3, cutting the series deficit to 2-1.
James Harden had a strong performance down the stretch, collecting huge buckets to fend off a fierce Pistons comeback. While Cleveland blew a 17-point lead in the game, the Cavs were able to hang on with strong defense in the final minutes of the game.
Now, the Cavaliers hope to tie the series at two games each before the teams head back to Detroit. Cleveland is 5-0 in home games during this postseason run, and the Cavs will need that to remain the case to avoid a deep hole in the series. The Pistons, meanwhile, have shown the ability to deal with adversity and can still take a stranglehold on the series with a win on Monday night; Detroit will need Cade Cunningham to avoid turnovers, which doomed the team in Game 3.
