With an injury-riddled Cavaliers team looking to protect home court Monday night, the top-seeded Celtics prevented any momentum going in the opposite direction in a 109-102 win in Cleveland.
Despite a seven-point win, the Celtics had a dominant offensive performance from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who combined for 60 points.
“It took us a little while to get going and stop ball-watching and play some basketball,” Brown said post-game via Yahoo Sports.
