After Action Report
The Raptors squeaked past the Celtics 117-112. Raptors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
