After Action Report
The Raptors stunned the Celtics 118-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
