After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Raptors 117-83. Celtics torched the Raptors on the offensive end. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
