After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Raptors 120-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
