The Boston Celtics fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-94 at TD Garden Thursday night. The series now stands at 1-1, and the next two games will be played in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers were the more aggressive team from the jump. They used their speed to press the Celtics offense, resulting in a ton of open looks at the rim. For the game, Cleveland logged 60 points in the paint. To make matters worse for Boston, the Cavs shot a blistering13-for-28 on 3-pointers, while the Celtics were ice-cold from deep. Cleveland was simply the more polished and focused team, as evidenced by the final score. Much like Game 2 of the opening round of the postseason, the road team took care of business while Boston never found the right gear.
Let’s take a look at some of the best moments captured in images in the Celtics’ Game 2 of their second round series vs. the Cavs.
