Game Centre: Raptors’ slide hits three with OT setback in Boston

If it all plays out as so many would like, the Toronto Raptors-Boston Celtics playoff series could very well be a doozy.

There is much to happen between now and that possibility in June, but Friday’s delightfully tough contest in Boston should have fans drooling for more in the spring.

The Celtics ultimately prevailed 123-116 in overtime in a tight game that also spells the third straight loss for the Raptors, who began a four-game road trip that continues Saturday in Chicago.
