After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Celtics 82-78. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
