The Cavs excelled in Game 2 by defending intensely, containing Boston's stars, outrebounding them, and taking care of the ball. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley shined with a combined 50 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists, and one turnover.
The Celtics struggled with three-point shooting, missing 26 of 33 attempts compared to the Cavs making 13 of 26. This significant shooting difference largely contributed to the 24-point margin in the game.
Boston's poor three-point shooting performance in Game 2 is unlikely to repeat in the series or postseason. The extreme contrast in three-point shooting between the teams may not happen again.
