After Action Report
The Raptors stunned the Celtics 126-121. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Raptors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
