After Action Report

The Cavaliers took care of the Celtics 125-112. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Celtics. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
