After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Raptors 110-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
