Celtics showed up in ‘clutch’ spots to keep control over Cavs in Game 1

Tuesday’s Game 1 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers was a dominant one for the Boston Celtics. They managed to win in near wire-to-wire fashion, only trailing briefly in the first quarter.

This game wasn’t really ever close. But, it could’ve been.

In fact, I’m not entirely convinced that this is a game that last season’s team wins, or at least controls to the degree that we saw last night.

Now that it’s #DifferentHere, it seems like the Cs play with their food far less frequently. In the series opener against the Cavs, Boston did what they’ve done for the entire season and maintained focus in key spots.
