It’s the preseason and the Celtics played the rebuilding Cavaliers, but if this game was any indication on how Boston will look in the regular 82, it’s going to be a fun year. In an afternoon start at TD Garden, the Celtics nearly doubled up the Cavaliers 118-72.
The main rotation players played only the first half and they looked to be in mid-season form. Kemba Walker finished with 12 points, Jaylen Brown chipped in 10, and Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, and Gordon Hayward combined for 12.
