A rivalry is born and 9 other takeaways from Celtics vs. Raptors

1. The Celtics and Raptors both loaded up the past two seasons. Two summers ago, Boston got Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. This past summer, Toronto added Kawhi Leonard. In an Eastern Conference that is wide open for the first time in a decade since LeBron James headed west, these two teams are going to battle all year. This was just game one of at least four. If we’re lucky, we could get seven more in the spring.

2. Early in the game, the Celtics got some great looks off some excellent ball movement and spacing.
