Brown, White hold off Raptors in late-game scare
The Celtics held on to win 121-113 after the Raptors mounted a 23-point comeback. Boston held control for most of the game but began to let the lead slip away late before saving themselves in crunch time.
The Celtics would take control of the first quarter, outscoring the Raptors 34-26 with Derrick White leading the way with 14 points. The three-point shooting was once again lethal early on, shooting 6/14 in the first quarter, along with 4 offensive rebounds for 7 second-chance points.
A defensive duo of Jordan Walsh and Derrick White has given teams fits, and they did once again in the first, with Walsh grabbing three steals and White blocking two shots.
