After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Raptors 112-103. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
