“Celtics” lost at home with the result 94:118 (24:30, 30:24, 24:36, 16:28) to the Cleveland “Cavaliers” team, which tied the series at 1-1.

The home team convincingly lost the battle under the basket (31:44) and made only 22.9% long-range shots (8/35). Cleveland hit nearly half (13/28) of their attempts from long range.

Jayson Tatum was the top scorer for the home team with 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Jaylen Brown added 19 points.

Donovan Mitchell stood out in the Cavaliers team with 29 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, while Karis Levert and Evan Mobley, who also had ten rebounds, added 21 points each.

Porzingis got injured in the fourth match of the first round of the “play off” against Miami “Heat”. The Latvian basketball player strained the calf muscle of his right leg, which could prevent him from participating in the second round of the playoffs.

The next two matches of the series will take place on May 11 and 13 at the “Cavaliers” field.

It has already been announced that the Celtics beat the Heat 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs, while the Cavaliers defeated the Orlando Magic basketball players 4-3 in the quarterfinals of the Eastern Conference in seven games.

In the previous season, the Denver “Nuggets” defeated the Miami “Heat” 4-1 in the final series and won the NBA championship for the first time in history.
