The Cleveland Cavaliers had a spectacularly unspectacular performance at the Boston Celtics on Monday.
Cleveland took their seventh consecutive L in that one 110-88, moving the Wine and Gold’s record to 5-18 in the 2019-20 season, and while the Cavaliers had a few really nice spurts, they missed way too many good looks.
The Cavs had a much better effort than in their previous game at the Philadelphia 76ers when they got annihilated 141-94, and that was a plus.
Cleveland shooting 39.6% from the field, including seven-of-31 from three-point range, as noted by ESPN, though, did them in too much against Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and a well-balanced Celtics team that is now 17-5.
