Celtics Outlast Cavaliers in Eastern Conference Clash

Boston secures a 112-105 road victory over Cleveland with standout performances from Derrick White and Jayson Tatum.

Derrick White scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, including key three-pointers, to help Boston hold off Cleveland's late-game push.
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 22 points, while Kristaps Porzingis and Jaylen Brown added 19 and 16 points, respectively.
Donovan Mitchell's 31-point effort, highlighted by a thunderous dunk over Porzingis, was not enough to lift the Cavaliers, who struggled with three-point shooting (28%).
Boston's road win improves their record against Cleveland to 2-1 this season and demonstrates their ability to perform in hostile environments.
The Cavaliers, despite their league-best home record, missed a chance to extend their lead atop the Eastern Conference standings.
