Boston Celtics’ Offense Disappears Against Cleveland
The Boston Celtics were finally starting to get things going on offense. They went 6 of 7 games shooting above their average from beyond the arc and they were continually shooting around 50% for a game. Their average points per game got well above 100 and the Celtics were playing with the kind of balance that is needed to compete with top teams.
Then they faced the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time since the playoffs last year and they responded with their worst offensive game of the season. 77 points is their fewest on the season and it really is not even close. The Celtics shot 32% overall, 28% from three and couldn’t get a boost in transition with just 9 points in that area.
