After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Cavaliers 116-96. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
