Wrap-Up - Tuesday’s preseason opener wasn’t so much about facing the Celtics – although it felt great to come back and drop Boston again in Cleveland’s first visit since winning Game 7 of the ECF. It was more about how the new-look Cavaliers would fare in their first outing together.
And although the first team only played the first half, the results were positive across the first three periods – with Kevin Love grabbing his new role as the squad’s leader and top pick Collin Sexton playing with total confidence as Cleveland dominated Boston, 102-95, in a game nowhere near as close as the final score would indicate.
