After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Celtics 108-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
