After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Raptors 115-85. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.

- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
