BOS
Limited by foul trouble
As he's done multiple times this season, Brown got off to a hot start with 12 of his 16 points coming in the first quarter. However, the All-Star guard was unable to carry that momentum over the next three quarters, mostly due to the fact that he was in foul trouble for most of the contest. Tuesday broke a five-game streak of 20-plus points for Brown, and he'll look to get back on track in Thursday's NBA Finals rematch against the Mavericks.

BOS
Double-double off bench
Payton Pritchard has typically been the leading bench scorer for the Celtics this season, but it was the veteran Horford who led the reserves in that category Tuesday. Horford's 10 rebounds matched a season high that he set Nov. 8 en route to his second double-double of the regular season. Horford won't always have these kind of nights, but it's a reminder of the versatility that he brings to a Celtics team looking to go back-to-back.

Catches fire in second half
White had just three points on 1 of 7 shooting entering halftime, but he rebounded in the second half with 17 points, 15 of which came from beyond the arc. With Jaylen Brown in foul trouble and Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis struggling from the field, White provided the Celtics' offense a steady presence and helped hold off a Cavaliers comeback. White and the Celtics will return home to host the Mavericks on Thursday.

Recalled to Boston
Scheierman will provide some emergency depth for Tuesday's game versus Cleveland, but he's not guaranteed any minutes at the NBA level.

Available for Tuesday
After missing Sunday's game against the 76ers for his first absence of the season, Pritchard is no longer appearing on the injury report. The guard holds averages of 10.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 2.2 three-pointers over his last 10 appearances.
