Playoff season is finally in the air. Teams are fighting for their righteous spot in their respective conference. This time the East Powerhouse Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors are battling for the first spot in the Eastern Conference. The Toronto Raptors took advantage of the under man Boston Celtics since the Celtics played without their All-star point guard in Kyrie Irving.
With this, the Toronto Raptors beat the Boston Celtics 96-78 in a fascinating way. The Raptors played a solid defense throughout the game that made the Celtics players miss their shots. The Celtics made a mini run late in the 3rd quarter but the All-star duo of the Raptors made sure that they got the win.
Demar DeRozan lead the surging Raptors with 16 points and 3 rebounds. While Marcus Morris led the young Celtic with 21 points and 5 rebounds.
