After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Celtics outlasted the Cavaliers 125-118. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
