While Nicolas Batum missed Game 3 with a sprained left ankle, he could be coming back sooner than expected.

"Surprisingly much better than when it happened like three days ago," Batum said of his ankle. "I improved like a lot. The swelling is way down so I will just keep working on it with like four or five hours of treatment everyday until I get back as fast as possible on the court."

This improvement has quelled initial concerns that he would have to miss the entire remainder of the series.
