After Action Report
The Raptors upended the Celtics 115-111. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
