After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Celtics 104-98. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
