After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors outlasted the Celtics 106-90. Ugly basketball, but the Raptors did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; the Raptors sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
