After Action Report
The Raptors ran roughshod over the Celtics 115-84. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
