A poor start took the air out of their sails, a poor shooting night sunk them, and the Toronto Raptors find themselves on the other side of Game 1 in a hole against the Celtics.
After being trounced 112-94 on Sunday, the Raptors are quickly back to their Eastern Conference semi-final tomorrow evening for Game 2. It may be a must-win scenario against a Boston team that’s playing with extreme confidence.
Today, the team held their first off-day media session in a while — players hadn’t spoken to the media outside of a game since early last week, when Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell notably opened the door to what followed: a league-wide walkout over the Jacob Blake shooting and social injustice.
