The Cavs will have hoped to put a miserable March in the rear-view mirror with their 122-105 victory over the hapless Philadelphia 76ers. “We needed this game, we needed to get this win,” admitted Irving after the Cavs completed a 7-10 March. “I’m excited about it.”The Cavs struggles opened the door for the Celtics, and they have seized their opportunity. The Celtics’ 15th win in their last 17 home games wasn’t certain until Amir Johnson contested Elfrid Payton’s drive in the closing minutes. Klay Thompson had 20 points and eight rebounds for the Warriors, who had 49 points from their reserves.
