Tyronn Lue Downplays Cavs Opener vs Celts

Eight days later, when Cleveland swapped Kyrie Irving to Boston for Jae Crowder, Isaiah Thomas, Ante Zizic and a first-round draft pick, the matchup took on an entirely different meaning. But Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue refused to place any added significance on Tuesday’s challenge against the Celtics. “It’s one game,” Lue said after practice Sunday.
