After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors stunned the Celtics 122-120 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
