« on: May 10, 2024, 07:47:25 AM »The Cavs stealing one game in Boston, who would have thought of that? I believe almost everyone was thinking the Celtics would make easy work in their home court. Levert's production was a surprised to me as he played poorly in game 1. Good call on the part of the coach for trusting him in game 2.That's what the Cavaliers need if they want to win against the Celtics.
Distributed offense and not relying on one player on offense. It's just amazing to see 6 players scoring in double digits, and that would be better compared to Mitchell scoring 40-50 points yes, but still end up losing the game.
The Celtics got outrebounded in the whole game 44-31 and they only shot 8/35 on 3-pt area compared to Cleveland's 13/28. What's worse is that the Celtics only shot 1/17 from 3-pt area in the 2nd half hence, the Cavaliers took the lead and slowly got away. Anyway, looks like I underestimated the Cavaliers on this one. If they continue to play like this (the distributed offense), they might have a chance.
Both home teams lost today because the Thunder also lost to the Mavericks 119-110. Despite the injury of Doncic, he still scored 29 points. Aside from him, PJ Washington also helped the team and scored 29 points as well. Kyrie scored only 9 points, but it doesn't matter because their bench players stepped up scoring 30 points.
