After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers demolished the Celtics 136-115. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
