After Action Report
The Cavaliers stunned the Celtics 102-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
