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.

The Cavaliers struggled to slow down Payton Pritchard and despite a trio of 3s in the final minute, Cleveland fell to the Celtics Nov. 30.

As Cleveland has been riding a three-game winning streak, they had just come off their best win of the season against Detroit, winning by 21. Cleveland came into Boston ready to dominate the Celtics and continue their reign on the Eastern Conference.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the road against the Boston Celtics. Here are three keys to tonight’s game. Boston’s frontcourt has taken a few hits since last year. They no longer have Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis holding down the line.

Despite this decision, this isn’t why the Cavs lost. The same issues are recurring with this core. There’s still a lack of “toughness” with this group. When things aren’t going well, they have a hard time turning it around.
