The Boston Celtics fell 123-116 to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home despite a combined 83 points from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

▪ Jayson Tatum has faced just about every defensive coverage imaginable, and most often teams try to wobble him with blitzes, traps and double teams that force another player to beat them. But Tatum is a willing and excellent passer, and this approach sometimes leads to quick advantages for the Celtics closer to the rim.
