After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Raptors 105-85. Celtics torched the Raptors on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
