Cavaliers Defeat Celtics, Snap Seven-Game Streak

In a thrilling matchup, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Boston Celtics 115-111, ending Boston's seven-game winning streak. Donovan Mitchell scored 20 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, leading a comeback from a 12-point deficit, while Jayson Tatum scored 33 points but faltered in the final moments. The Celtics, missing two starters—Jaylen Brown and Derrick White—were able to build a significant lead but could not hold on as they allowed the Cavs to surge ahead. Boston's Payton Pritchard and Kristaps Porzingis contributed 24 and 21 points respectively, but the Celtics' defense struggled down the stretch. This win gives Cleveland a measure of revenge after losing to the Celtics earlier in the season. The Celtics will next host the Miami Heat, while the Cavaliers prepare to face the Washington Wizards.
