A short-handed Cavaliers team did their best to hang with an equally short-handed Boston squad but faded at the end in a 112-106 loss at home.
Cleveland played again without Andre Drummond, Tristan Thompson, and Darius Garland but still found some offense with a game-high 41-points from Collin Sexton and double-doubles from both Kevin Love and Larry Nance Junior.
The Cavs will next play on Saturday when they continue their homestand with a game against the Denver Nuggets.
