Pros and cons after impressive Game 1 against Toronto.

The first time ever matching up in the playoffs, the Celtics came out on top against the defending champions in an aggressive win. We all were saying that this was going to be a battle but it seemed like Toronto didn’t have their Wheaties at Disney World’s breakfast service.

Boston was up 39 to 23 at the beginning of the 2nd half. Despite keeping the Raptors behind an electrical fence in the first quarter, things got...sloppy, to say the least. Luckily, the turnover spillage was kept under control until the very end due to performances from very familiar faces and also from our beloved underdog players.
