After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Raptors 123-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it

- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
