After Action Report
The Raptors blew the doors off the Celtics 137-91. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Raptors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
