For their third matchup of the season, the Toronto Raptors finally got home court advantage against the Boston Celtics. After a narrow loss in overtime to start their season series, followed by a franchise-record deficit in their second game, tonight’s show of force has finally returned some balance as the Raps prevailed 110-97. It’s no surprise either, with their win against the Warriors a couple of days ago, Toronto came into this matchup with confidence, effort, and even a bit of flair.
RJ Barrett was a force, narrowly missing the cutoff for a triple double. Finishing with 22-10-8, he consistently found ways to score around the basket and help the team defensively.
