Overview
- Jaylen Brown scored 30 points and Derrick White added 27 as Boston hit 20 of 47 from three-point range.
- Boston’s 23-point cushion vanished during a 34-10 Toronto surge that produced the Raptors’ first lead with 10:39 remaining.
- Back-to-back threes from White and Payton Pritchard flipped the game back to Boston, which closed the final eight minutes with superior shot-making.
- The result pushed the Celtics to 15-9 and dropped Toronto to 15-10, extending Boston’s streak to five wins and marking the Raptors’ third straight loss.
- Toronto managed short-handedness with RJ Barrett out (knee) as Immanuel Quickley played after being listed questionable, and the Raptors now turn to Tuesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Knicks.
