Not surprisingly, the Celtics struggled to contain the Cavaliers' offensive onslaught during the first game of their first-round playoff series on Sunday, a 113-100 win for Cleveland. Kyrie Irving caught fire for 30 points, LeBron James had 20 and Kevin Love added 19 despite shooting just 5-for-14, and the Cavs grabbed 15 offensive rebounds in the game.
But what about the other end of the floor? Unlike Doc Rivers's teams, Brad Stevens's 2014-15 Celtics have made offensive output their calling card, ranking at the top of the NBA in field goal attempts while averaging 101.
