After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Cavaliers 95-87. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
