Kyrie Irving added 23 points, and Kevin Love contributed 19 points and 13 rebounds. For the Celtics, Thomas led the way with 22 points, but he was the only Celtics player to score in double figures. Al Horford added eight points and 10 rebounds, while Avery Bradley added seven points. The Cavaliers now lead the series 1-0, and they will host Game 2 in Cleveland on Monday, May 22. The Celtics will need to make some adjustments if they want to come back and win the series. They will need to find a way to slow down James and Irving, and they will need to get more production from their supporting cast. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, will need to continue to play at a high level. They will need to be able to hit shots from the outside, and they will need to be able to rebound the ball well. The Eastern Conference Finals is now a best-of-seven series, and it is likely to be a long and competitive series. The Cavaliers will have the home-court advantage, but the Celtics will be a tough opponent. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
