After Action Report
In a track meet, the Raptors buried the Celtics 124-96. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
