COLUMBUS, Ohio — Here is a roundup of the headlines in Boston about the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavaliers and Celtics.

But for the first time in the Eastern Conference Finals, Boston’s defense showed flaws, allowing James and the Cavaliers to score 116 points.
And as Morris told reporters including Tom Westerholm of MassLive.com on Sunday, he was blunt about his thoughts.
“Personally, I think I did a (expletive) job defensively with LeBron,” Morris told reporters.
