After Action Report

The Cavaliers outlasted the Celtics 103-84. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
