Celtics complete revenge game with 98-92 win over the Cavaliers

Thankfully, the Celtics got revenge with a 96-92 win over the Cavs despite some seriously offensively challenged stretches. The good news is that the defense still showed up, and for the fifth time in the last seven games, they held an opponent under 100 points. Offensively, the team was led by Jayson Tatum who looked more comfortable in the second half. He put up 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Ricky Rubio kept the Cavs alive with 28 points.
