After Action Report
In a track meet, the Raptors handled the Celtics 118-102. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
