Boston’s Big Second Half Stymies Wine & Gold

Wrap-Up -- Weathering a third-quarter funk during the regular season is one thing. Trying to do so against a hungry squad like the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals is entirely something else.

After the Cavs took a seven-point edge into intermission, it was all Celtics from there – as Boston outscored the Wine & Gold, 59-39, in the second half, pulling away late to hand Cleveland the 107-94 loss on Tuesday night at TD Garden and take a 2-0 lead in the series.

LeBron James was spectacular in the loss, but he didn’t get a ton of help outside of Kevin Love.
