IN A NUTSHELL
In a sentence? The Celtics followed Saturday’s clunker against the Bulls with an even uglier game against the Raptors.
There are clearly some cases where the law of averages will come around and the pendulum will swing the other way, of course; but this Celtics team may have just hit a new low, dropping their third straight in particularly alarming fashion. They’ve now lost 9 straight on the road in Toronto.
There’s not much in the way of substance to gain from this one – at one point they trailed by 31, their largest deficit against any team since March 2015 – but we’ll try.
