After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers downed the Celtics 130-119. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
