After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Raptors 107-104. The tempo dragged the Raptors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
