After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Raptors 92-87. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
