After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Celtics 114-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
