Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 104-103 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
One — Classic: This was do-or-die for the Raptors, and the champions lived to fight another day. Game 2 was a punch in the gut with how the Raptors blew a 12-point lead to a fluky run of threes from Marcus Smart, and this game went right to the wire. Kemba Walker dribbled in circles and found Daniel Theis with the go-ahead dunk with 0.5 seconds left, and it looked to be the knockout punch.
