After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Celtics 112-108. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
