The Cavs were down by 15 points with 2:20 to go. The Celtics stopped trying to score - they dribbled down the clock each possession which only gave them 5 seconds to take a shot. The Cavs got stops and Garland hit three 3's in the final 45 seconds to make the final score much closer than the game really was. The Celtics were at least 10 points better. This was not a close game.This is the worst part to me. As bad as the other stuff may be, if they had hit just 5 more free throws, it's a 1 point win. These are professional NBA players missing practice shots.
It will be interesting to see these teams play Monday in Cleveland. Both will make some adjustments.
