| TEAM | Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 | Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 | FINAL |
| KEY | 38 | 28 | 20 | 33 | 119 |
| BOS | 25 | 27 | 32 | 37 | 121 |
As we said, the Cavaliers dominated the game from the start, taking an 11-0 lead in the first two minutes. This dominant play continued into the second quarter, where Cleveland took a 38-25 lead. Boston’s offense played well, but their defense couldn’t contain Donovan Mitchell, who played the ball throughout the game.
Suddenly things changed in the second half. Cleveland’s 14-point lead dwindled to just two late in the third. Out of nowhere, it was a play again. Boston’s defense was finally able to shut down the Cavaliers’ offense, at least long enough for them to get close. The Celtics’ third-quarter performance negated their rough start to the game.
In terms of player performance, Jayson Tatum definitely won the ball after scoring 49 points and 12 rebounds. Additionally, his star teammate Jaylen Brown also put up excellent numbers, scoring 37 points, 6 assists and a steal. Together, the two players helped the Celtics stage a comeback that saw them lose nearly 20 points in this contest. Celtics fans will be hoping these two can replicate those numbers in upcoming matchups as they hope to reach the Finals.
For the Cavaliers, Donovan Mitchell was the only one to help his team maintain its lead. However, he showed why he is the team’s best player, scoring 51 points in 40 minutes of regulation time. However, his efforts were not enough to help Cleveland emerge victorious. The second highest scoring player was Evan Mobley, who scored a dreadful 12 points. They will have to make some serious adjustments before heading into Game 2.

The Cavaliers lose an extremely important game, and in horrible fashion too. We know the Celtics are incredible, but you don’t just lead by 19 at one point in the conference semifinals and choke like that. Cleveland now needs to win Game 2 in Boston in hopes of making up for that performance. We’ll see if they can bounce back on Thursday. A difficult path to rebound begins now.
As for the Celtics, a hard-fought victory boosts the morale of the team and the fans. Now it seems the tables have turned and Boston is ready to get to work on this series quickly. If the team can sweep the Cavs quickly, it should reduce player fatigue and injuries heading into the conference finals. However, they still need to win three games. However, we think the Celtics have a good chance of advancing.
In terms of accuracy, we felt this simulation offered gameplay that was both realistic and entertaining. Although the Celtics converted a large portion of their 3PT conversions, it’s not inconceivable, considering their final stat line. However, we are always looking for ways to improve game results by adjusting CPU sliders and shot conversion success rates. However, the only thing we can’t change is the rosters, because creating custom rosters to account for injuries only causes our games to crash. Therefore, we will look at ways to reduce this problem.
