After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Cavaliers 118-98. Celtics' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
