After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Celtics 101-87. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
