After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Celtics 121-106. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
