After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Cavaliers 110-100. Celtics' starting five clicked while the Cavaliers looked disjointed. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
