BOSTON — Cleveland’s Larry Nance Jr. and Boston’s Marcus Morris were issued technical fouls after an altercation with 10:47 left in the second quarter.
The incident began after Nance missed an alley-oop with Morris defending. Nance fell to the ground, and Morris turned and said something to Nance, who got up and shoved Morris. Morris retaliated, and Celtics guard Terry Rozier got involved, receiving a technical foul, too.
The Celtics were in control of game, leading 36-19.
It turned into a four-point swing for the Cavs. Kyle Korver made the free throw on the Rozier technical foul and followed up with a three-pointer.
It's now a best-of-three series after both teams defended homecourt.
