After Action Report
In Toronto, the Celtics outlasted the Raptors 113-107. Celtics' offense had its way with the Raptors. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
