East Conf. Finals - Game 3: Boston Celtics 86-116 Cleveland Cavaliers - 5 Talking Points

#1 The Cavaliers' shooting clicked for the first time this series

The Cavaliers were thus far shooting abysmally bad through the games they played in Boston. They finished 2-of-15 on wide open 3s during Games 1 and 2 - a figure they improved to 5-of-10 for Game 3.

Historically, role players have been known to perform better in home games during the playoffs, and this rule of thumb held true this time around as well. JR Smith bounced back from two torrid games to shoot 3 3-pointers out of 8. Kyle Korver was mightily impressive, as he's been throughout these playoffs - Korver converted all 4 of his 3-pointers to total 14 points on the night.

Jordan Clarkson had 3 of his own, LeBron was perfect from downtown, going 3-for-3 with all of those shots taken during the first half. George Hill, however, was the best complementary piece for LeBron on the night, finishing the first quarter with 11 points to add to James' 12 at the end of the period.

The Cavs shot 17-of-34 for a robust 50% conversion rate, and they were quite impressive to watch as well.
