The Celtics drown the Cavaliers in a shower of threes

Winning streak of Cavaliers is coming to an end and has not gone further than three. In Massachusetts, the Ohioans won the water (125-105), facing a flurry of 3-pointers from Celtics : 21 in total!

I Jailen Brown (30 points) took on his role as “go-to-guy”, even started a “run” that changed everything, that’s good Sam Hauser (21 points in 19 minutes!) who played the role of the x-factor coming off the bench. While Derrick White, Josh Minott, Luka Garza, Neemias Cueta, Anfernee Simmons and Payton Pritchard also made positive contributions this evening, with more or less skill. Unlike Donovan Mitchell, transparent after his first twelve good minutes, on the Cavs side.

The turning point of the game came when Jaylen Brown assisted Boston to inflict 20-3 on Cleveland in three minutes at the end of the first period. Before that, the two teams were equal, but after that there was no more match. Especially since in addition to talking powder from behind the arc, the C’s dominated in the paint and rebounding, thanks to all the activity of the Josh Minott – Neemias Cueta – Luca Garza trio below the arc.

TO BE REMEMBERED

– 20-3 that changes everything. The Cavaliers led 57-55 four minutes into the break, but the Celtics returned to the locker room with a … 75-60 lead. Coming out of the timeout, Jaylen Brown started hostilities and got caught in the heat, scoring only 13 points, and thanks to this “run” Joe Mazzula’s players flew to victory. The maximum was 20 points and, if Jaylon Tyson (19 points) tried to bring Cleveland back into the score, he was too lonely in the second half to be able to worry this Boston team, use the ball in hand or punish the opponent’s mistakes.

– Shooters at the party. If the Celtics scored 21 baskets for 3 points (in 57 attempts, or 37% of success), the Cavaliers were not missing either with their 17 successes (but in 52 attempts, or 33% of skill in practice). In the first quarter, which ended with the score 42-40 in favor of the Cavs, it was even rude and bordering on rudeness, with a total of 18 game-winning points. In particular, Sam Hauser stands out, who finished 7/13 from distance and who did not wait to get going, with often sharp entries into the game.
