After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Cavaliers 123-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
