An exhausted Matthew Dellavedova was hospitalized due to severe cramping following his 20-point performance Tuesday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, and after his release, the Aussie told his coach not to even think about limiting his playing time in Game 4.
David Blatt says both Dellavedova and Iman Shumpert (shoulder) will play as the Cleveland Cavaliers look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead against the Golden State Warriors.
Blatt says "good news" on Shumpert's shoulder. An MRI showed just a bruise. It's painful, but there was no further damage.

Delly met with reporters Wednesday afternoon, and said he’s never been so tired before in his life.
#Cavs Dellavedova: "That's probably the tiredest I've ever been" I think that's what he said. I'm not the best with Australian.

Reporter: "Are you an annoying player?" Delly: "Am I an annoying player? I've never played against myself"
