After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Raptors 109-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
