After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Raptors 105-101. Celtics' defense smothered the Raptors all night. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
