Q's 1/2 time analysis - Celtics managed to space themselves with nice ball movement and shooting and poor execution by the Raptors - The previously aforementioned Loren Woods blew up after a traveling call. Scalabrine wirescubbed Loren Woods. We cannot rely on Atlanta or Indiana helping us tonight. Both are being beaten badly by Philly (home) and Chicago (away).

Celtics have managed to stiff arm Toronto as this game as taken more of a defensive tone. Tony Allen has done an excellent job at both ends of the floor.

Q's wrap-up
The Celtics put it away with good ball movement and 3 pointers while doing the job at the back end.
Gerald Green got 4 points in the last minute with the last being a fun dunk off a pass by Tony Allen off the backboards. While it looked pretty anyway.
West said Gerald Green will be a great player for the Celtics.
Pierce looked much fresher after his six minute rest to start the 4th (Good Coaching Doc).
Also I like the defensive combination of Perk, Gomes, the Greens and Tony Allen.
