After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Celtics handled the Cavaliers 101-88. Celtics' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
