After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Raptors 102-100. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
