CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to tip-off in the second game against the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of the series Thursday evening. The new matchup comes with hardly time to breathe after the team advanced into the second round following a seven-game series with the Orlando Magic.
For the Cavs, Tuesday was a bit of a wake-up call. No longer are they playing a defensive-heavy team with a prominently points-in-the-paint offense. The Celtics can shoot, and they aren't afraid to let it be known. Boston hit 18 threes on Tuesday to Cleveland's 11, 39.1% from deep in relation to the 26.2% the Cavs shot.
"They shoot the ball from the perimeter as opposed to Orlando who's more 'attack the paint.' So it's a totally different mindset, But It'll be fun for us," Caris LeVert said to Bally Sports."I think just getting them off the three-point line is first and foremost. When they do shoot threes, making sure they're contested and offensively, moving them around and kind of exploiting where we feel like we can exploit.
