Cavs Bench Sparks 26-Point Comeback in Second Half

The Cleveland Cavaliers rallied back from a 26-point deficit to take Game 3 on the road from the Indiana Pacers.

LeBron James dominated, scoring 41 points, but a bold move by head coach Tyronn Lue to sit Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love for the fourth quarter, while Kyle Korver, Deron Williams and Channing Frye played in crunch time.

Korver finished with 12 points, hitting 4-of-5 three-pointers.

Frye scored 13. Williams played 22 minutes, facilitating the offense and providing a spark on the other end.
