Celtics Snap Cavaliers' Win Streak with Thrilling 125-105 Victory
The Boston Celtics snapped the Cleveland Cavaliers' three-game winning streak last night, taking down their opponents 125-105 in a thrilling contest. Jaylen Brown led the way for the Celtics, scoring 30 points, including 13 during a pivotal 20-3 run that helped his team pull away from the Cavs.
Brown's hot shooting was matched by Sam Hauser, who chipped in with 21 points off the bench. Josh Minott and Neemias Queta also had impressive performances, with Minott grabbing 14 rebounds and Queta contributing 13 points.
For the Cavaliers, Evan Mobley scored 19 points with 11 rebounds, while Jaylon Tyson matched him with a team-high 19 points. However, Donovan Mitchell struggled to find his range, making just one of his last eight shots before finishing with 15 points.
The game was marked by intense defense and three-point shooting, with the teams combining for an NBA-record 18 threes in the first quarter alone. Boston's bench played a crucial role in their victory, with Hauser and others helping to propel them to a commanding lead.
Despite struggling in the fourth quarter, the Celtics managed to keep their momentum going, ultimately taking down the Cavaliers by 20 points. The win marks Boston's second straight victory since opening the season with three losses in a row, and sets up an intriguing matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA tournament this weekend.
The loss ends Cleveland's winning streak, which had seen them rise to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The Cavs will look to bounce back from this defeat when they host Toronto on Friday night, while Boston will travel to face the 76ers on Friday evening in their own tournament matchup.
