INDIANAPOLIS — The Cavaliers began working on a 3-2 zone that became a "break glass in case of emergency" type defensive scheme, only to be broken out when absolutely needed. That time arose during Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers. It played a key role in turning the tide of at least Game 3, and potentially the series, if the Cavaliers can keep the momentum going after their 124-106 win that trimmed the Pacers' series lead to 2-1.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Cavaliers rebounded in a major way May 9 with a Game 3 win that cut the Pacers' lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series to 2-1. Much closer to full strength health-wise with the returns of Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter, the Cavs quickly regained their identity and now have a chance to even the series before it heads back to Cleveland for Game 5. Here are Game 4 predictions from Beacon Journal sports writers Ryan Lewis and Nate Ulrich.
