After Action Report

The Raptors buried the Celtics 117-88. Raptors' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Raptors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
