Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena was a case of deja vu.

For the second time this month, the Boston Celtics emerged from their battle north of the border with a win that leapfrogged them past the Toronto Raptors into third in the East.

The visitors' 112-96 victory came despite the absence of four-time All-Star Jaylen Brown. That put even more pressure on Payton Pritchard to shake off Friday's shooting struggles.
