Game 3 of the NBA Finals is on Wednesday and no team in NBA history has ever come back from an 0-3 series deficit before. With the Cavs down 0-2 after losing Games 1 and 2 by a combined 48 points, it’s almost an understatement to say that Game 3 is a must win, but LeBron James described it perfectly.
After an off day from all things NBA for traveling purposes, both teams practiced at Quicken Loans Arena and had interviews with the media. James knows that importance of this upcoming Game 3, and didn’t hold anything back when talking about it.

“Obviously, it’s a do-or-die game for us,” James said. “We can’t afford to go down 3-0 to any team, especially a team that’s 73-9 in the regular season and playing the type of basketball they’re playing. So it’s a do-or-die game for us and we understand that.
