The lights shone bright at TD Garden on Friday night as the Boston Celtics edged past the Toronto Raptors, 125-117. Boston saw great energy from Payton Pritchard, who scored 27 points.

Jaylen Brown was his usual great self adding 25 points, grabbing eight boards, and dishing out seven assists. For the Raptors, they dealt with numerous injuries, including Brandon Ingram being sidelined by a thumb issue, Scottie Barnes resting a knee, and Jakob Poeltl being out with back trouble.

The Celtics improved to 24-13 on the season while the Raptors fell to 23-16.
