After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 121-99. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
