After Action Report

The Raptors blew the doors off the Celtics 126-82. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
