After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Raptors 118-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
