After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Raptors 123-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
