After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Celtics 111-99. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
