After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Celtics 106-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
