Boston-Celtics,Nba,@Pvigna

Two nights after losing by 25, the Cavaliers seized the lead in the third quarter and answered with a blowout of their own.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum passes the ball as Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley and guard Max Strus defend during the first half of Game 2 of an NBA basketball second-round playoff series Thursday, May 9, 2024, in Boston.

Jayson Tatum scored 25 for Boston, and Jaylen Brown added 19 points. But Derrick White, whose 25 points in Game 1 helped the Celtics coast to a 120-95 win, managed just 10 points, missing seven of his eight 3-point tries. A minute later, after the Celtics missed another 3-pointer – they were 8 for 35 from long distance in all -- LeVert made a layup and drew a flagrant foul from Tatum. It was a 25-point game, and Boston coach Joe Mazzulla emptied his bench.
