After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics survived the Cavaliers 126-124. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
