Well, that was certainly something.
After a dominant Opening Night win over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics weren’t quite able to keep up the momentum in Toronto against the Raptors, dropping their second game of the season 113-101 in a game that felt like it was being played in April, not October. The Celtics went back-and-forth with the Raptors in one of the best games of the fledgling NBA season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a statement game from Kawhi Leonard, who posted 31 points and 10 rebounds.
