Celtics 'Leading' Cavs in Tied Series

Filed under: Cavaliers, Celtics, NBA Playoffs

CLEVELAND -- The feel of a playoff series can change dramatically from one game to another, and that happened Monday night at Quicken Loans Arena. A solid effort from the Boston Celtics combined with a lackluster one from Cleveland sent the Celtics to Boston with the series tied one game apiece.



The fact that Boston won was damaging in and of itself. What made it worse was that the Celtics won easily, by 18, and did it by making almost no adjustments from Game 1 to Game 2. The message: Boston believes its approach can work, and it showed it Monday night by beating the Cavs 104-86 in a game that really was not that close.



"I think," guard Ray Allen said, "we did everything we set out to do game-plan wise."



This Eastern Conference semifinal might be an example of a team leading a series that is tied.
