The Cleveland Cavaliers finally won their first road game of the NBA playoffs, surprising the Boston Celtics and the TD Garden crowd with a 118–94 win in Game 2 of their second-round series. The series is tied at 1–1 going into Saturday's Game 3 at Cleveland.
Early on, it looked like the Cavs might win a playoff game without Donovan Mitchell scoring the majority of their points. After averaging 39 points over Cleveland's past three playoff games, Mitchell had only six points at halftime. But he took over in the second half, scoring 16 in the third quarter and 29 for the game.
