After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Celtics 105-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
