After Action Report
The Raptors edged the Celtics 106-99. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
