MONTREAL - The Toronto Raptors took advantage of Jayson Tatum’s third-quarter ejection and concluded pre-season action with a 137-134 overtime win over the Boston Celtics on Friday in front of a sold-out Bell Centre.
With Pascal Siakam on a rest day, OG Anunoby was Toronto’s shining light, picking up 32 points and six rebounds. Toronto ended its pre-season with a 2-2 record and a second consecutive overtime win over Boston.
Khem Birch was the starting centre for the Raptors in his hometown. The Montrealer picked up four points, four rebounds and two assists. The Bell Centre crowd got an early opportunity to cheer on their local player when Birch drove to the net for a dunk in the first quarter.
