After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Cavaliers 101-97. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
