Celtics survive Cavaliers' late rally and prevail 117-115 (PHOTOS)
The Boston Celtics set all kinds of career-bests en route to a dramatic 117-115 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics are coming off a road loss on Saturday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they find themselves as underdogs again
The Cleveland Cavaliers may be without multiple key players in Sunday night's game against the Boston Celtics.
Pritchard was critical in the Celtics’ win over the Cavs on Sunday, putting up a season-high 42 points. He shot 15-for-22 from the field and 6-for-11 on his 3-pointers. But Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson praised one of his notable new skills.
Cleveland needs to find their groove because it’s in a slump right now. Three straight losses and a trip to the 4-16 Pacers await on Monday (tonight). The Cavs need to find a mean streak; they need to be the aggressors. They have injury issues, but they coped well in the first month of the season. They need to get that form back.
The Cavaliers outscored the Celtics in the fourth and Evan Mobley recorded a huge double-double, but it was all for naught as Payton Pritchard dropped a season-high 42 points to ensure Boston secured the huge road win.
