After Action Report
The Raptors upended the Celtics 113-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
