After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Cavaliers 106-103. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
