The Celtics continue to play good solid defense, and it is one of the reasons they have been successful early. Cleveland has done a good job against teams like Boston that shoot less than 76 shots a game. They have been 15-3 against the first-half under against these teams, and 21-4 to the first-half under against teams allowing just 91 points per game or less. Boston is also 30-14 the last two years to the first-half under after a road game, and 19-9 to the first-half under as a road favorite.
