After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Celtics 121-101. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
