After bouncing back with three straight wins on the heels of a three-game losing streak, the Wine and Gold gear up for a nationally-televised heavyweight battle on Thursday night at The Q.
On Tuesday night, the Cavaliers reminded the young Celtics why they were able to knock them out of last year’s postseason in four games – completely clamping down on Boston in the second half for the 89-77 win. After intermission, Cleveland held the Celts to just 31 points on just 26 percent shooting – limiting Isaiah Thomas, Jared Sullinger and Jae Crowder to a combined 3-for-17 shooting.
