After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Raptors 111-109. Celtics' offense had its way with the Raptors. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
