The Golden State Warriors will play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday as things hot up in their NBA Finals 2015 series. Game 3 will be a vital one for both teams as each looks to get their noses in front. The game has a scheduled start time of 9 p.m. ET and takes place from the Quickens Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. The game can also be watched on TV on the ABC network or online through live stream via the link below.
After the opening two games at Golden State things are deadlocked at 1-1. Two dramatic overtime games ended with both sets of players exhausted, but ultimately each only came away with an equal share of the spoils.
There's been a day for players, fans and officials to catch their breaths again, but things get back underway tonight with the series moving to Cleveland for the next two games.
Sunday's win by the Cavaliers to tie up the series was breathtaking. That stunning 95-93 overtime victory saw LeBron James drag his team over the line with an amazing 39 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.
However, how much more can the man be expected to give. After 46 minutes in Game 1, he went another 50 in Game 2, and he was visibly uncomfortable and hurting when seen in the post match interview.
When he was asked whether he has anything more in the tank, James was adamant that he will keep going until the final second of the series: "It's a maximum of five games left in the NBA season. So I'm ready for whatever."
Much was made of the fact that the Cavaliers had lost All-Star guard Kyrie Irving for this series, and many had written off Cleveland. But James led his team to a phenomenal result in Game 2, and if they can build on that win tonight, people will start to believe that the Cavaliers may just be able to pull off a fantastic underdog story.
Cavaliers coach David Blatt has said about James: "You'd be hard pressed to find a guy anywhere, anytime, I can think of a name or two, but that's the whole history of basketball, that can give you the kind of all-around performance and all-around leadership that LeBron does for his group. He really willed his guys to win that game.
"That's what a champion does."
