The Boston Celtics' defense has struggled to contain the Cleveland Cavaliers' pick-and-roll attack. That much is clear from Games 1 and 2, where they conceded an average of 106 points per game.

Here's an example from Game 3 on Thursday. Kyrie Irving gets past the first line of defense before setting up a rolling Timofey Mozgov for a powerful one-handed jam.
