The Cleveland Cavaliers snapped a four-game losing streak on Wednesday, beating the Boston Celtics 117-110 and dropping the Celtics to 1-3 since the All-Star break.
Here’s what happened.
The big picture
The Celtics started sloppily and fell behind by as many as 21, then closed tired on the second night of a back-to-back.
In the middle, the Celtics played pretty well — battling back and nearly evening the score against the Cavaliers in the second half. Cleveland’s young stars, however, scored just enough down the stretch to send the Celtics back to Boston with a disappointing loss.
