In the other game, the Celtics vs. Cavaliers, the two sides were previously tied 1-1, so both teams were hoping to regain the initiative, but in this game, the two sides seemed to be better prepared.
In the first quarter of the game, Mitchell of the Cavaliers found his touch and scored consecutive points, but Brown and Tatum also stood up to respond, and in the first quarter of the game, the Celtics took a two-point lead at 30:28. In the second quarter of the game, the double tanhua was taking turns to attack, Mitchell's side was a little alone, the Cavaliers tried to limit the Green Army duo with a strengthened defense, which also caused Tatum and the defensive players to have a skirmish, this quarter of the game, the Celtics led by 7 points in a single quarter at 27:20, and at the end of the first half, the Celtics led by 9 points.
In the third quarter of the game, the Celtics continued the rhythm of boiling frogs in warm water, even if Xiaobai played iron again and again, but as long as the double talk was not forced to the moment of life and death, the probability would not collapse, and the two also continued to move forward with the Celtics, in a single quarter of the game, the Celtics led by 6 points at 27:21, and at the end of the third quarter, the Celtics' lead came to 15 points.
With a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter, the scales of victory slipped in favor of the Celtics, which also meant that if the Cavaliers couldn't quickly close the gap after the opening game, they would be in a very passive position if they were still 15 points behind in the final six minutes. At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers, who realized the crisis, played a 6-0 opening, and they chased the difference to 9 points, but Tatum and Brown's response also allowed them to stabilize their position, and then the Celtics and the Cavaliers entered the offensive phase again, and obviously the offense must be more beneficial for the Celtics, after all, they are double tanhua. As time went on, when the Cavaliers were unable to further chase the difference, the Celtics also took advantage of the situation to win this game, turning the series into a big score of 2:1.
Looking back at this game, who is the culprit for the Cavaliers' loss? It is undoubtedly their Garland, in this game, Garland was 4 of 11, got 10 points, 5 assists, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, Garland's win-loss value was -17, the worst existence on the team.
So who was the Celtic winner? is undoubtedly Tatum, although in terms of scoring, Tatum is similar to Jaylen Brown, but in the fourth quarter, when the Celtics were chased for points, it was Tatum who stepped up to solve the problem. So who are the sluggish people on the Celtic side? It is undoubtedly Xiaobai - White. White scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 turnover, and 1 foul on 2-of-10 shooting in the third quarter and a half.
