In the second game of their weekend back-to-back, the Boston Celtics fell to the Toronto Raptor 97-113. Unlike their previous meeting on Christmas Day, Boston struggled to assert their will against a determined Raptors squad.
Opposed to the Celtics, the Raptors had not played since their Christmas Day loss and it showed. Clearly, they had spent time in the film room figuring out how to slow down Boston’s inside-out game. The answer, it seems, was hustle, and hustle they did.
Third game in four nights, back-to-back, whatever. Boston just wasn't good enough tonight and Toronto kicked their tails with far more effort.
