After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Celtics 117-114. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
