After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Cavaliers 102-95. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
