After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Raptors 111-95. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
