After Action Report

The Celtics pulled away from the Raptors 121-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
