After a miserable pair of games in which the Toronto Raptors failed to hold leads entering the fourth quarter, fans of the team could certainly be forgiven for not holding out much hope. The Raptors were down four points entering the final 12 minutes while displaying little more than a shocking propensity for committing sloppy turnovers. Yet their All-Star backcourt rose to the challenge, and Jonas Valanciunas enjoyed perhaps his best game of the season. The Raptors wore down the Celtics, took the lead on a Kyle Lowry 3-ball, and though Boston drew even twice, Toronto was not to be denied.
