The Celtics cruise past the Cavs 117-113 and I know that doesn't seem like "cruising past" but this game was not as close as the final score. Celtics were up by 20 late in that fourth quarter and there certainly was a massive collapse because guys reverted to iso ball and they slowed the pace which you cannot do against this Cavs defense. They are one of the best halfcourt defenses in the league with Allen and Mobley and the Celtics were at their best tonight when they dictated the pace and it showed with out 16 fast break pts.

Tatum finally caught his post all star break hot streak after a tough start but he ended this one with 41pts 11reb and 8ast after starting the game 1-4 from the field and only 2pts in the first quarter. He caught fire and never cooled down. Speaking of never cooling down, Al Horford went off for 23pts 11reb on 6-8 from 3 and was hitting big shots all night long. We also saw Timelord look like Timelord again. This was probably the best we have seen him look in quite some time. He ended the night with 11pts 11reb 1stl and 2blk and was a force down low. We're used to seeing our bench step up and perform at such a high level but tonight was a game run by the starters and despite JB struggling from the field, the starters combined for 105pts. Solid win for the boys in Green. Celtics still stand .5GB the Bucks for 1st place after they took care of Orlando tonight.
