The Celtics buried the Cavaliers 129-103. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
