Hello basketball fans! I'm going to give you another NBA game recap and I'm going to talk about the Cavaliers VS Celtics match today. The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics for the second time in the 2018 NBA Preseason, 113-102 on Saturday night.
Both teams rest their star players to get ready for the upcoming opening night of the regular season. Ante Zizic had a big night as he led the Cleveland Cavaliers finishing the game with 20 points and 5 rebounds in just 22 minutes of game time. Cavs' rookie Collin Sexton added 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist while Jordan Clarkson finished with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists including two three-pointers. Larry Nance Jr. also played well scoring 10 points with 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Cedi Osman and Sam Dekker had 7 points apiece. JR Smith who was involved in an altercation with Aaron Baynes and Marcus Smart finished the game with only 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist playing only 13 minutes.
The altercation begins in a play where JR and Baynes are battling for position to get a rebound then Baynes hooked JR Smith's arm and then try to take him down and not letting go of his arm. JR then pushes Baynes after getting upset because of the incident. Marcus Smart immediately run into JR and push him from the back and it becomes more heated and two Boston players (Jayson Tatum and Terry Rozier) had to restrain Smart and not letting him get the situation even worst. JR just laughs at Smart and wave him good bye as he was ejected of the game.
Cleveland has the advantage all game and didn't let the Celtics get back to the game and they secure their second NBA preseason game.
Cavs next match will be against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
