After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Cavaliers 112-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
