NBA Playoffs: Cavaliers vs. Pistons Game 3 live stream: Watch online

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons

Despite being the No. 1 and the No. 8 seeds in the Eastern Conference entering the 2016 NBA Playoffs, the first two games of the first round series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons have arguably been some of the most competitive of the young postseason. The Pistons haven’t backed down and, for at least one half in each game, have put the Cavaliers on their heels. They’ll certainly look to do that for four quarters on Friday night in Game 3 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Obviously there are going to be plenty of eyes on Stanley Johnson and LeBron James after the Pistons rookie didn’t hold back in saying that he’s in the head of the Cavaliers star forward. LeBron will certainly have a response to that, but the key for the Cavaliers may well be if they can find a way to make Kevin Love effective yet again and if the likes of J.R. Smith and Kyrie Irving can replicate their outside shooting that they put on display in Game 2. For Detroit, Andre Drummond needs to be more dominant while Reggie Jackson, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Marcus Morris need to shoot the ball well also.
