The Raptors, on the other hand, were looking to snap a two-game losing skid. Boston came out strong scoring 34 in the first quarter, but it was the second quarter that put real separation between them and the Raptors.

Boston dropped 43 points in the second quarter, taking a 77-59 lead into halftime. This was good for Boston, as Toronto played much better in the second half, including taking a three-point lead with 8:14 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Celtics would take control of the game and hold off the Raptors, winning 121-113. Jaylen Brown finished with 30 points, eight rebounds, and five assists to lead Boston to their fifth straight victory.
