After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Celtics 86-81. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
