After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Celtics 122-120. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
