After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Raptors 112-109. Celtics' offense had its way with the Raptors. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
