Share

CLEVELAND – Here are the Star, Studs and Duds from Boston’s 116-86 Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals.

STAR

LeBron James: He got some help in Game 3, but at the end of the day LeBron James was still the best player on the floor. He would finish with a double-double of 27 points and 12 assists along with five rebounds.

 

STUDS

Kevin Love: His ability to get buckets around the basket and control the glass was among the keys to Cleveland’s victory. He tallied a double-double of 13 points and 14 rebounds in addition to dishing out four assists. 

Jayson Tatum: There was very little that went Boston’s way, but they had to be encouraged by the way Tatum was able to find success getting to the free throw line. He led Boston with 18 points which included him going 6-for-8 from the line.

George Hill: After taking major heat for his poor play in Games 1 and 2, Hill set the tone with early baskets as part of a solid 13-point performance.

 

DUDS

Marcus Morris: This was one of those games when Boston needed Marcus Morris to knock down the open or lightly contested shots he was given, and he came up short on both fronts. He would finish with just nine points on 2-for-8 shooting and plus/minus of -28.
