After Action Report

The Raptors ran roughshod over the Celtics 109-86. Every possession went the Raptors way. Raptors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
