After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Raptors 112-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
