Tuesday’s Raptors-Celtics match-up in Toronto was supposed to be a face-to-face stare down between a pair of excellent teams, both of which possessing an argument for being superior to the other. Boston’s top-ranked defense is quite obviously sucks to try and pull apart, and had already driven the Raptors’ shiny new offense back to more primitive times once this season. Toronto’s a two-way monster, sporting the best second unit in the league and that aforementioned newfangled attack. Boston’s a team capable of surmounting enormous deficits. The Raptors sport the league’s best home record and have a propensity for blowing out bad teams.
Grasping for First Place? The Raptors are already better than the Celtics
