Cavaliers hope to find their footing against Warriors in NBA Finals Game 3


After a crushing defeat against the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers seek to make up their 0-2 series deficit in Game 3 Wednesday night in Ohio. The series is a rematch of last year's Finals — which the Warriors won 4-2 — but this year's matchup has been decidedly lopsided.
The Cavs have struggled to contain the Warriors, missing defensive rotations due to the defending champions' whip-quick ball movement — and with forward Kevin Love out of the game due to a possible concussion, the Cavs are down one of their stars. Still, the Cavaliers are back at home at Quicken Loans Arena, where they have been undefeated in the playoffs this year.
Watch it all unfold at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
