After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Raptors 111-90. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
