After Action Report

The Cavaliers survived the Celtics 98-96. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
