After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Cavaliers 105-97. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
