Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 118-102 loss to the Boston Celtics.
One — Unfortunate: Sometimes it’s just not your night. The shorthanded Raptors were playing their third game in four nights, against a fully loaded Celtics squad, and they just didn’t have it in them. Toronto raced out to a 10-0 lead at the start, but Boston responded with a 20-4 run of its own and held control from there. Given the gulf in available talent between the two sides, this was the expected result.
Two — Disjointed: It’s hardly a surprise to see the Raptors struggle to generate offense.
