After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Raptors 131-101. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
