The Cavs may have saw their hopes of taking Game Three of the conference semis bank off the backboard as Derrick Rose rattled off a game-winner.

That should at least even out the Kevin Love absence. Now we shall see if Cleveland can even the series.
As for Gasol, your guess it as good as ours when it comes to when he'll return:
