For the first five minutes of the game, the Celtics were virtually unstoppable. They opened the game on a 22-3 run.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were on their way to combining for 83 points. They were spraying the ball around the floor and finding open threes with ease.
It was the kind of run that would have made many teams fold. But, not Cleveland. They held their ground, made a gritty comeback, and tied the season series with Boston at 2-2 with a 123-116 win.
“Everything that could have possibly went wrong went went wrong,” Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell said.
