This should be a good test to see if we're back on track after a bad road trip and an easy home win against a bad Bulls team.
The Raptors have one of the league's best offenses and a top 10 defense to go with it. We better bring our A game.

Great game. Playoff vibe throughout. Celts took a punch in the 3rd, hung in and came back to finish strong, thanks largely to Kyrie's amazing scoring. Tatum and Hayward clutch at the end too.
This was an important win if we hope to overtake Toronto for top seed in the East. Only a few days ago we were 5 games down in the loss column. Now it's 2.
It looks to me that Hayward has a better feel for how to create good shots for his team than anyone other than Irving. Smart isn't bad in this regard but is too prone to forcing passes that aren't there. I think we're going to want GH out there when KI is resting.

I watched a lot of the game, especially the 4th Q and OT. It seems like things are slowly rounding into place. Kyrie has to be the man. Tatum has to do what he was doing last year and has to be a starter. Then players have to do what they do well. After Kyrie and Tatum it's kinda like there's a ton of role players and they have to play top notch. They have to make that extra pass and rebound and be smart.

Jmost, thanks for getting up the game thread. Very solid win. I feel TOR is built for the regular season, while BOS is built for the playoffs.
