After Action Report
The Raptors shocked the Celtics 118-107. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it

- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
