After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Cavaliers 80-61. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
