After Action Report
The Raptors pulled away from the Celtics 106-95. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
