After Action Report

The Raptors demolished the Celtics 143-114. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
