After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Celtics 99-96. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
