After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Raptors 118-96. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
