Key Moment
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals was tight for all of eight minutes before Boston broke free from Cleveland for a blowout.
After being knotted 25-25 at the 4:06 mark of the first quarter, the Celtics went on a 15-6 run and never looked back. Jaylen Brown, who scored 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting during the opening frame, was one of the catalysts of the run, and the C’s rode his hot hand (32 points) all night.
The Celtics won every single quarter, leading by six points after one, by 10 at halftime, and by 15 after three, before cruising to a 120-95 win.
