You might think Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens would be happy after a 25-point win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but not so.

Stevens said after the game that the Celtics have plenty of room to improve despite their 108-83 win over the Cavaliers in the series opener.

Brad Stevens says "we have a lot of room to improve from tonight."

— Boston Celtics (@celtics) May 13, 2018

The Celtics shot 51 percent from the field, held the Cavaliers to 15.4% shooting from three, and LeBron James managed just 15 points as Boston’s defensive effort forced him to settle for a lot of contested jumpers. Stevens still wants more and will push to get it. Maybe James should reconsider how he feels about the recent praise for the Celtic coach.
