After Action Report
The Raptors buried the Celtics 140-100. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
