A year after meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are both struggling. The Celtics are 11-10 after everyone pegged them as East favorites, while the Cavaliers are last in the conference with a 4-16 record.
On Friday night, both teams look to shake off the slow start, as Boston hosts Cleveland at the TD Garden for a 7 p.m. showtime.
Cleveland has lost its last two games, and is 1-9 on road games so far this season. The Cavaliers just traded away Kyle Korver, in exchange for two second round draft picks and Alec Burks.
