Ben's heroics

Cavs playoff blog by Bob Finnan

Forty-five minutes before Game 3, many of the Cavs players didn't know if Ben Wallace would be playing.

He was suffering from dizziness after Game 2. The Cavs are glad he did. He had nine points, nine rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes.

When he's on the court, it gives the Cavs more confidence. He battles Kevin Garnett on the low post. He's not going to stop KG. But he makes him work extremely hard.

He's not the most friendly guy in the locker room, even though his teammates love and respect him.

But he's a major key to the Cavs' success.
