After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Cavaliers 104-97. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
