The Celtics downed the Cavaliers 114-100. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell.

What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
