After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Raptors 119-109. Celtics' offense had its way with the Raptors. Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
