After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics blew the doors off the Raptors 108-88. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
