After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Cavaliers 130-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
