Fans in Cleveland are getting their brooms ready after the Cavaliers walked into the Palace of Auburn Hills on Friday night and defeated the Detroit Pistons in Game 3 101-91.

The final result was still up in the air late, though, as Cleveland held a five-point lead with 45.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

With less than a second to work with on the shot clock, Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova found a wide-open Kyrie Irving (26 points and four assists) in the corner. Irving drilled a 3-pointer with time expiring to put Cleveland up by eight.
