Bennedict Mathurin, who missed last year's playoff run due to a shoulder injury, has been waiting for a moment like this. He delivered in Game 3.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — TJ McConnell stole inbounds passes not once, not twice, but three times in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. He waved his arms, pumped his fists and shouted at an already delirious crowd to make more noise. Bennedict Mathurin made just about every shot, calm and cool, always coming up with the bucket that Indiana needed.

The NBA Finals — a showcase of sorts for Canadian basketball — resumes Wednesday night in Indianapolis. The series is tied 1-1.
