Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De'Andre Hunter returned for the Cleveland Cavaliers' 126-104 Game 3 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday.

Garland had been out with a toe injury since Game 3 of Cleveland's opening-round matchup versus the Miami Heat, while Mobley and Hunter were sidelined for the Game 2 defeat against Indiana with an ankle and a thumb issue, respectively.

Garland recorded 10 points and three assists on Saturday. Mobley had an 18-point double-double, and Hunter tallied eight points and five rebounds in the win.

Cleveland had attempted to fill the void in its starting unit in Game 2 with Dean Wade and Ty Jerome. The duo combined for five points on 2-of-18 shooting in the loss.

The Cavaliers entered the playoffs with the best record in the East after amassing 64 regular-season victories. They easily dispatched the Heat in a first-round sweep but dropped their first two games to the Pacers in Round 2.

Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
