Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Full Game Highlights | Dec 1 | 2025 NBA Season

You ready? You game? I'm game. The seven-footer takes it himself. He'll find Garland. Garland fakes a three, got Horford in the air, and Gary as Garland sees that rim out. Only to have Jared Allen follow. It's the first 17 games with an ankle injury that he suffered in the finals in June. He returned just six days ago as Mobley takes the feed from Garland, and he flushes with the left hand. Porzingis with a long-range triple, and he gets the Celtics on the board. The last meeting between these teams, the Cavs also didn't have Wade and Spruce, as well as Isaac O'Connell and Karis Laverne as Tatum screams, and straightaway is good. Now it's Mitchell. Mitchell plays through Allen, picked up by Porzingis on the switch. He'll scurry inside, put it up and in, get fouled by Porzingis. And his ability to get to where he can be effective, and he's very effective on shooting that corner three. A coro spree. He cashes in. Yeah, speaking of becoming effective. 10th NBA season, 6th or 7th team, Luke Cornett has checked in, along with Peyton Pritchard. Top shot by Porzingis, and Porzingis gets the roll. With a short jumper that cuts the Cavalier lead to 18-17. Laverne the other way. Weaves his way in between Garland and Laverne, gives to Pritchard. Pritchard steps back for three. That's what he does. Yeah, Luke comes in, a big guy. Takes up a ton of room to block shots. You got he and Porzingis on the floor at the same time. Both guys are well over 17 tall. Miang got Cornett on a fly-by, and Jordan knocks down the triple. Thank you, Serena. As here is Jason Tatum. Fires a straightaway three. That's rebounded by Evan Mobley. Evan Mobley, Mitchell, Miang, Merrill, and Laverne. As Mitchell cruises to the basket, reverses and scores. Here's Laverne who runs the floor. Merrill, Miang, open, three. Nice ball movement by the Cavaliers after an excellent defensive stand. Cavaliers charge out. That transition break has been fantastic tonight. Joe Mazzulla has gone to Drew Peterson here as Porzingis fires a three and cashes in. Less than two weeks ago, the Cavs bench was terrific. Denny used only three players as Laverne goes high off the window over the outstretched arm of Porzingis. Jerome fires a three, and it's rebounded by Peterson. Peterson swats a three. Got it. Way out on the Cavalier logo. Now it's Tatum who's back in the ballgame. Surprisingly, it corals right out on him. Tatum looks to slash. He'll finger roll and score. And then Tyson gets it. Celtics have taken 23 threes. The Cavs, 19. Coral hits the deck. It comes to Hauser, however. Corford, another three. And the Celtics have the lead. They rain down those threes, don't they, John? Talking about the Celtics. Now the Cavs have to come back and slow down their pace just a little bit. There you go. Levert lays it up and in as Karis Levert gives the Cavs the lead. The air mails it in. Garland fought them the entire way. Mobley off to a wide open Garland. Hey! Knocks it down. That was excellent defense by Darius Garland again. Back down by Garland. Mitchell just went two of eight. Mobley, one of eight. As Mitchell wheels around Hauser to the basket. Puts it up and puts it in. Yeah, I agree. And the Cavaliers were still defensed by Abbott. He didn't go for the pump fake on Tatum. Tatum had to reset. He's not going around him. He's going to take a tough three. That's a tough shot. A little bit more defensively through the Cavaliers. Here's Okoro. Okoro's taking only one shot. He hit a three in the first half. Mitchell with a drifting triple. Tough shot. With a shot clock winding down. Gets two feet in the paint. Got stalled there and he threw it away. You've got to go ahead and shoot that little jump up over the top. Tatum has been rejected by Isaac Okoro who sent it into the third row. Wow, how'd that basket through to Tatum. Garland nearly made the intercept. Tatum clears himself. We play on. They continue to bang in there. Porzingis and Neang. Neang being physical with the 7'3". Porzingis who kisses it off the window and gets it to go. Release has given the Celtics this 76-65 lead. Garland, however, has an answer. Garland wants it back. He gets it back. Again, he's in that paint. Shot clock winding down. Oh, and a move by Karis Laverne. A dazzling play. Had nowhere to go and Karis just dove to the basket. Going behind his guy. Smart basketball. Tatum nails another three. That's his fourth. Got to make them move their feet by passing that basketball distance. Tatum. Leaned upon by Mitchell. Jason Tatum now has 29 points on the evening. As he drives, that ball's got to come out. Laverne stumbles and turns it over, but the Celtics give it back. Laverne's all alone. The Cows will take that exchange. Ty Jerome will quarterback this offensive sequence. He's tracked by Pritchard. Goes to Mobley for a jump hook. That's what I want to see is that jump hook over top. The Celtics are fighting. They're finding their way to the rim here, Brad, in the second half. Mitchell steps back. His long two rattles it. Pritchard keeps that dribble alive, John. That's what makes him difficult. The best in the league, all pro-level. He's well on his way to that. He's just getting more and more confident every night. Pritchard with a step-back three. Two nights ago in the fourth quarter in Chicago. Scoring 19 points in a seven-minute stretch in the fourth quarter. Donovan Mitchell, this is his time as well. They had a few good stops and one good run by the Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley get presumably their final rests here in this fourth quarter as Merrill got it. The Celtics have missed their last seven shots. The Cows clamp things up defensively. Two for three. Hey, knocks it down. Corral's taken only two shots. Both have been threes and he's made both. The Cavalier run is 11-0. Tatum to the foul line. Celtics 95. Cavaliers 90. 4.05 to go. Garland sends it inside to Allen. Allen puts it up. He puts it in. He got fouled by Hauser. And Jared Allen comes alive. Isaac Corral making a big three-point shot. Everything's calculated. Tatum fades away. Another tough shot by Jason Tatum. He has 33. Five to shoot. Mitchell picked up by Hauser. Steps back and drills a three. Big shot by Donovan Mitchell. My goodness. Holiday, you see you pick up Mitchell full court. He wants to keep the ball in a 45's hands. Corral sprays one to Mobley. Now it's in the hands of Mitchell. And he delivers. Excellent play. Good ball movement by the Cavaliers. Guarded by Garland. He just pushes off. Shoots the shot. 1.45 to go. Mitchell just crossed over Holiday. His three is perfect. Oh, mercy. Tell you what, that is a big time shot. 1.15 to go. The Cavs have the basketball. And we remain tied at 1.01. Mitchell goes to work. His dazzling fourth quarter continues. He fought him all the way down the lane. Mitchell on the logo. Inside to Okoro. He finds Mobley. And Mobley thunders it home with a devastating dunk. Now you got to come down. You don't want to foul. Let that clock run. Don't stop the clock. Pritchard for three. Got it. It rattles in. There goes Garland. George is fouled. Oh, boy. This first is true. The second question there. Five seconds left. Big free throws by the Cavs down the stretch. Holiday. Watch Pritchard. Finally gets it there. And he's fouled quickly. He's been good from the line down the stretch. Pritchard now has 17 points in the fourth quarter. And there it is. He whipped it off the thing, but he went over the line too fast. Oh, my goodness. With those two big men on the floor. Again, the Cavs got to get this ball in bounds. There's Mitchell. Mitchell gets fouled by Jaden Springer, who had just checked in only moments ago. Mitchell. With a critical free throw. Gives the Cavaliers a four-point lead. No fouls. Holiday misses, and that's it. The Cavaliers roar from behind and take out the Celtics.
