After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Cavaliers 133-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
