Cavs get Garland, Mobley, Hunter back for pivotal Game 3

Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De'Andre Hunter returned for the Cleveland Cavaliers' Game 3 tilt against the Indiana Pacers on Friday.

Garland has been out with a toe injury since Game 3 of Cleveland's opening-round matchup versus the Miami Heat, while Mobley and Hunter were sidelined for the Game 2 defeat against Indiana with an ankle and a thumb issue, respectively.

Garland and Mobley are the team's second- and third-leading playoff scorers, while Hunter is the team's most versatile perimeter defender.

Cleveland attempted to fill the void in its starting unit with Dean Wade and Ty Jerome. The duo combined for five points on 2-of-18 shooting in the Game 2 loss.

The Cavaliers entered the postseason with the best record in the East after amassing 64 regular-season victories. They easily dispatched the Heat in a first-round sweep but dropped their first two games to the Pacers in Round 2.
