After Action Report
The Raptors blew the doors off the Celtics 133-97. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Raptors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
