The Cavs sent three calls to the league after their Game 1 loss. Before Game 2, Kenny Atkinson went on a seven-minute rant about playoff physicality.

In my opinion, all three plays were excessive in nature,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said passionately about two prior to tipoff of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Indiana Tuesday night.

The Cavs are favored even more heavily despite their earlier loss, and they have three players listed on the injury report. Darius Garland was joined by Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter. All three players are questionable, although Garland has missed the last three games.
