After Action Report
In Toronto, the Celtics outlasted the Raptors 118-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Raptors are in a full-on tailspin; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
