After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics demolished the Raptors 135-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
