After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics upended the Raptors 129-128. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
