After Action Report
In a track meet, the Raptors handled the Celtics 116-98. Raptors torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Raptors stayed locked in; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Raptors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
