After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Cavaliers 108-107. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
