Warriors vs. Cavaliers: Game 3 Live Stream, TV Schedule and Latest Comments

In an NBA Finals series as competitive as the one the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are engaged in, the next game is always the most important. That makes Game 3 must-see TV when the two teams head to Cleveland tied at one game apiece. 

The storylines have abounded coming out of Game 2. The Cavaliers have now proven they can beat the Warriors without Kyrie Irving in their lineup, but can they sustain that level of play? Can LeBron James continue to put up legendary numbers without much help offensively? Will Stephen Curry regain his form?

Game 3 could go a long way in answering those questions. Here's a look at the schedule for the next game and beyond in the series.

What They're Saying

It was the Cavaliers who came into Game 2 with a bevy of questions. With two questionable offensive performances to start the series, the questions now shift to whether Golden State can get their offense back on track on the road. 

As Marcus Thompson of the Bay Area News Group notes, being on the road might not matter for the Warriors. They have actually experienced an offensive uptick away from Oracle Arena this season:

Of course, one thing that would help the Warriors offense increase exponentially would be Stephen Curry shooting the ball like Stephen Curry. The reigning MVP shot just 5-for-23 from the floor in his last performance. 

However, he's determined to make the proper adjustments to get a rhythm going in Game 3. Much of Curry's poor shooting performance has been chalked up to Matthew Dellavedova, but Curry didn't think he did anything out of the ordinary in defending him.

When asked about what Delly did to slow him down, Curry said, per Joe Noga of the Northeast Ohio Media Group:

"

Nothing really just besides playing their game plan and playing defense like every pro is supposed to. Not giving up on any possession. But I doubt this will happen again, with the adjustments I'll make once I'll look at the film. And like I said, one game is not going to make me stop shooting or alter my confidence at all.

"

There's weight to Curry's claim that he'll rebound, too. As Tim Kawakami of San Jose Mercury News points out, the guard has rebounded from shooting slumps at the beginning of a series before:

The expectation that Curry will carry his team is nothing compared to the expectations placed on James, though. With no Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love in the lineup, James recognizes that he's had to shoot more than ever, per Joe Vardon of the Northeast Ohio Media Group:

"

I'm not a high‑volume shooter, I've never been in my career. But things have changed on our team where the shots that Kevin and Kyrie would have has now been placed on myself and the rest of the guys as well. It's what needs to be done to help our team win.

Am I going to be in the 30s every game or things of that nature? I'm not sure. I would not like to. But if that's what the case has to be to help us win, then I don't have a choice.

"

With the series headed back home, a storyline to keep an eye on is if James will be more of a distributor in Game 3. With 38 and 35 shot attempts in Games 1 and 2 respectively, the Cavs star might look to get his teammates in a rhythm early on. 

	PPG	FG%	3P%
J.R. Smith: Away	12.2	.410	.378
J.R. Smith: Home	12.0	.425	.387
Iman Shumpert: Away	8.2	.398	.297
Iman Shumpert: Home	7.8	.425	.400
Matthew Dellavedova: Away	4.3	.315	.355
Matthew Dellavedova: Home	5.2	.414	.473

Ultimately, LeBron's supporting cast will tell the tale in Cleveland. James carried the offense, but it was the rebounding of Tristan Thompson, Timofey Mozgov and the tenacious defense and hustle of Dellavedova that put the Cavs over the top. 

With the Warriors' relatively clean bill of health being their greatest strength right now, the Cavaliers will need every contributor possible to chip in on Tuesday night.
