The Indiana Pacers continue to give the Cleveland Cavaliers all they can handle, taking a 2-1 series lead with a massive comeback win Friday night.

While Victor Oladipo carried them through Games 1 and 2, they have Bojan Bogdanovic to thank for their Game 3 victory.

The Pacers' defense was active and disciplined all game, but they struggled mightily to generate offense. Enter Bogdanovic, who poured in 13 fourth-quarter points, including three absolutely monstrous triples in the final six minutes to put the game out of reach.

He hit one through contact:

He made the Cavs pay for not getting back in transition:

And, finally, he bailed the Pacers out with a ridiculous desperation 30-footer to beat the shot clock, giving them a five-point lead with two-and-a-half minutes to play:

The Cavs made a pair of ridiculous late threes of their own to make it interesting, but the Pacers held on, 92-90.

Bogdanovic finished with a game-high 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting. He went 7-of-9 from downtown. The rest of the Pacers combined to shoot 1-of-17.
