After Action Report

The Celtics held off the Raptors 107-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
