After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 134-99. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
