After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics blew the doors off the Raptors 127-107. The tempo dragged the Raptors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
