The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers in first round NBA playoff series between the two teams after the Cavs beat the Pacers 119-114 in Game 3 Thursday night in Indanapolis. It wasn’t easy for LeBron James and crew as the Pacers were up 74-49 at Halftime and it looked Indiana was going to run Cleveland out of the arena. However, the Cavs roared back in the second half and ended up winning the game in the greatest comeback in NBA Playoffs history. Here are a bunch of tweets from when the Cavs were down big….
The Pacers flipped the switch.

The Cleveland Cavaliers may be the single worst defensive NBA team of all time

The Cavs aren't going to flip that defense switch. Because the Pacers just broke the damn thing.

I would surmise it’s finally time to panic about the Cavs

This is one of those games where the #cavs need to put their heads down, accept their ass beating and get ready to pretend it didn't happen

DWade's Bulls would've eliminated LeBron's Cavs in a first-round matchup.

I believe the phrase for what the Pacers are doing tonight is "Whupping dat ass."
