BOSTON– Not exactly the start you want to see in the conference finals.
The Cavaliers were blown out by the Boston Celtics in Game 1 at TD Garden, 108-83.
All afternoon, Boston out-hustled and out-shot the Cavs. Arguably the only positive takeaway from this game that the Cavs should build on is the 29-17 run they went on in the third quarter.
Other than that, it was pretty much a flurry of negatives from the opening tip, including the first play following it when Jaylen Brown got the ball and recorded an easy transition layup.
