Final: Celtics 120, Cavaliers 95
Jaylen Brown has 32 points and Derrick White 25 – including becoming the fourth player in postseason history to make 20 3s across four games – to give Boston a 1-0 lead in this East semifinal.
Donovan Mitchell had 33 to lead Cleveland. – 9:19 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Celtics beat the Cavs 120-95, turning what was a fairly competitive game into a blowout in the fourth quarter. Cavs scored 15 pts in the 2nd and 18 in the fourth. Derrick White & Jaylen Brown got everything they wanted on offense, while Boston really clamped Darius Garland. – 9:18 PM

Darius Garland went down holding his left eye, but he’s up and the trainer is icing it now. Looked like he caught an errant elbow from Jaylen Brown making a pass. – 8:37 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Jaylen Brown two-handed dunk over Okoro. – 8:33 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Celtics not named Jaylen Brown and Derrick White missed 13 of 14 3s
Cavs still down 10. They’re in trouble when Boston finds the range – 8:16 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Bit of an odd first half all around, with the atmosphere in here feeling more like Nov. 7 than May 7.
Cavs other than Isaac Okoro and Donovan Mitchell went 3-for-11 from 3
Celtics other than Jaylen Brown and Derrick White went 1-for-14 from 3. – 8:14 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Free throws in 1st half at Boston
Cavaliers: 3/5
Jaylen Brown: 4/4 – 8:11 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Jaylen Brown took a moment to collect himself after that foul, but he’s up and jogging down the court now – 8:01 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jaylen Brown stayed down grabbing his left knee a bit after that collision, but he is walking it off. – 8:01 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
This is the 9th time Jaylen Brown has scored 20+ in a half in a postseason game – 8:01 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
We’re getting a LOT of Jaylen Brown on both ends tonight – 7:55 PM
Souichi Terada @SouichiTerada
Jaylen Brown’s only miss of the 1st quarter was a halfcourt heave. Respect. Otherwise, 15 points on 5-6 shooting. 40-34 Celtics lead after the 1st. – 7:39 PM
Ball Don’t Lie @Balldontlie
15 in the first for Jaylen Brown 🔥

The Celtics – OK, Jaylen Brown – come out super aggressive to start the game, fueling Boston to a 10-2 start. Time-out, Cleveland. – 7:16 PM
Souichi Terada @SouichiTerada
Jaylen Brown with a quick 7 points to start and the Celtics are off with a 10-2 lead. Can’t ask for much more than that. – 7:15 PM
