Here are 10 takeaways from the Toronto Raptors’ 125-122 double-overtime win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
One — Exhilarating: Who would have thought that Game 3, the one where OG Anunoby called game off a one-in-a-thousand pass from Kyle Lowry, would only be the second-most dramatic game of the series? The Raptors and Celtics fought tooth and nail over the course of the full 48 minutes, plus two nail-biting overtime periods, only to arrive at a stalemate through six games. Boston went for the kill, as Brad Stevens played his starters for almost the entire second half and the added periods, and they threw every punch they had.
