The Toronto Raptors were the last team to play its In-Season Tournament game. They certainly made the wait worthwhile.
Well almost.
The Raptors lost to the visiting Boston Celtics, 108-105, dropping their first of four tournament games. The Celtics were led by Jaylen Brown, who scored 23 points and made a critical defensive stop on Pascal Siakam with the Raptors threatening to push its lead to two possessions in the final two minutes.
All five Boston starters scored in double figures. Kristaps Porzingis chipped in with a solid line of 14 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks.
