After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors survived the Celtics 111-110. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Raptors' 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
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
