After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Raptors 86-84. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
