Cleveland’s 15-game winning streak was snapped in the three-point defeat with a chance to seek redemption in two weeks.

As long as Horford remains the best all around big on the floor against the Cavs, it’s hard to see them or anyone else unseating Boston in the Eastern Conference. For as much talent is spread across the Celtics roster, Tuesday’s win is a reminder that Horford is regularly the guy that ties the whole thing together.

During the 2015-16 season, the Boston Celtics took the 23-0 Golden State Warriors to double overtime before losing, 124-119. Tuesday night, they didn’t miss their chance to hand the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers their first loss.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be thrown into the lion’s den on Tuesday night as they take on the Boston Celtics on the road. They have a league-best 15-0 record but that could change if the Celtics play as expected during the big game.
