The Boston Celtics snapped the Cleveland Cavaliers' three-game winning streak last night, taking down their opponents 125-105 in a thrilling contest. Jaylen Brown led the way for the Celtics, scoring 30 points, including 13 during a pivotal 20-3 run that helped his team pull away from the Cavs.
Brown's hot shooting was matched by Sam Hauser, who chipped in with 21 points off the bench. Josh Minott and Neemias Queta also had impressive performances, with Minott grabbing 14 rebounds and Queta contributing 13 points.
For the Cavaliers, Evan Mobley scored 19 points with 11 rebounds, while Jaylon Tyson matched him with a team-high 19 points. However, Donovan Mitchell struggled to find his range, making just one of his last eight shots before finishing with 15 points.
The game was marked by intense defense and three-point shooting, with the teams combining for an NBA-record 18 threes in the first quarter alone. Boston's bench played a crucial role in their victory, with Hauser and others helping to propel them to a commanding lead.
Despite struggling in the fourth quarter, the Celtics managed to keep their momentum going, ultimately taking down the Cavaliers by 20 points.

no way the Celtics just dominated like that 
, it's gotta be the Cavs who took the win, Evan Mobley must've had a huge night 
️ and his 11 rebounds were insane 
. And I'm pretty sure Jaylen Brown was off his game, only scoring 30 points is no big deal, anyone can do that 
. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell's struggles must've been the turning point in the game 
and the Celtics bench just came out of nowhere to save the day 
... wait, what? 
So that's what went down last night in the NBA! The Celtics totally crushed the Cavs' winning streak 
with 30 points, including a crazy 20-3 run that sealed the deal for Boston. And Sam Hauser came through big time off the bench with 21 points too 
. Meanwhile, the Cavs were having an off night, especially Donovan Mitchell who just couldn't get his shots going 
.
. what's up with donovan mitchell though? he had some tough shots last night 
. anyway, it's gonna be interesting to see how these teams match up against each other in the tournament this weekend 
.
, and those Cavs were on fire! 3 game win streak is huge, but that Celtics team is looking pretty unstoppable too 
can't wait to see how cleveland bounces back against toronto this week. the 76ers are gonna be a tough matchup for the celtics tho 
. Brown and Hauser were on fire last night 
. Cavs had some great moments too, Mobley and Tyson were incredible, but they couldn't keep up with Boston's scoring frenzy 
Jaylen Brown was on 
But what really got me is that Cleveland came so close to taking down Boston before it slipped away 
Donovan Mitchell struggled with his shot, but you can't take away from Evan Mobley's double-double performance 
and that comeback attempt in the 4th qtr was nerve-wracking lol. think Hauser's bench vibes were key to their win tho 
gotta give props to Boston's depth, they showed why they're a top contender 
Boston Celtics just straight up took down the Cavs' win streak 
. Celtics bench was 
for them, helping them pull away from the Cavs. 
but it's not all bad news for him 
he'll bounce back against Toronto. Cavs on a losing streak now, gotta regroup 
anyway, boston's bench was on fire 
and that pivotal 20-3 run by jaylen brown sealed the deal for them 
. I loved how Boston's bench came up big in the end, it made all the difference 
and they played some sick three-pointers 
. The Cavs had Evan Mobley and Jaylon Tyson going strong, but Donovan Mitchell just couldn't find his shot 
.
! The Cavs might be sad about losing their winning streak 
!
but at the same time, i gotta give credit where credit is due - the celtics' bench was straight fire last night
