After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers handled the Celtics 115-104. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
