After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Cavaliers 107-106. Celtics' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
