After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics edged the Raptors 110-104. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
