This was one of the greatest displays of basketball dominance in NBA history, and certainly the biggest thrashing of a team in Cavalier history. Cleveland absolutely decimated Boston in a way there are not words to describe. Even the Celtics seemed to be resigned to their fate. This isn’t a recap, it’s a prose highlight reel.
When we saw that Gerald Green was going to be in the starting lineup, to make it Thomas, Bradley, Green, Crowder, and Horford, I knew the Celtics were in trouble. This team wasn’t going to be able to rebound or defend the Cavs’ front line.
