Celtics take 3-2 series lead in Game 5 romp over Raptors

There were no OG Anunoby heroics on Monday.

The Boston Celtics made sure of that early en route to a 111-89 Game 5 win over the Toronto Raptors to take a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Brutal first half for champs

The Celtics dominated from the outset and entered halftime with a 62-35 lead. They held the Raptors to 11 points in the first quarter. They scored 37 points in the second, two more than the Raptors tallied in the entire first half.

Toronto competed in second half, but the first-half damage was too significant.
