After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Cavaliers 102-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
