After Action Report

The Celtics blew the doors off the Raptors 136-95. Celtics torched the Raptors on the offensive end. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. 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.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
