Stephen Curry is all for physical playoff basketball and having to earn every shot, even if he is the one taking the brunt of it, with the Houston Rockets swarming the Golden State star and doing all they can trying to slow him down.

Cleveland has a very professional attitude, one that warrants praise. Remember, the Grizzlies put a game-long scare into the Thunder on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Cavs have won the three first quarters in this series by an average of seven points. When Game 2 was within a point after a frame, Cleveland then won the second quarter by 16.

De'Andre Hunter and Evan Mobley combined for 30 points for the Cavaliers, who closed the first quarter on a 27-5 scoring run and never looked back. The Heat, which dropped its sixth straight playoff game at home, were paced by Bam Adebayo with 22 points and nine rebounds. Game 4 is back in Miami on Monday.
