Blew a 20 point lead to end up 7. A little scary at the end, until the refs evened up the free throw differential to only 8 more for Cleveland. White had a 14 point 3rd quarter and basically helped seal the game. Horford played Big tonight (10 Rebounds, 13 points). Luke Kornet set a lot of great screens, moved the ball well, and was fabulous in only 12 minutes. The rest of the guys got this one done with stingy defense. About time they put in the effort. They sure are paid well enough.
Despite the great defensive effort (finally), the smoother running of the offense (despite the shooting whoas, the looks were there) was probably an equally impressive accomplishment. About time on that as well.
An Alternative Perspective:
Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed Field Goals - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)
+20.5 Derrick White 35 minutes
+15.5 Jaylen Brown 28 minutes
+15 Al Horford 27 minutes
+15 Jayson Tatum 35 minutes
+13 Kristaps Porzingis 35 minutes
+10.5 Payton Pritchard 29 minutes
+8.5 Luke Kornet 12 minutes
+7 Jrue Holiday 26 minutes
+4 Sam Hauser 13 minutes
Team Total = 109
