On to the next, right? The Toronto Raptors had an amped up crowd behind them Wednesday night, but couldn’t muster up much on either end of the floor and fell at home to the Washington Wizards.
The Boston Celtics opened their season on the road in New York, and fought to the bitter end before dropping a double-OT heartbreaker to the Knicks.
And so we find ourselves here in Boston, with both of these teams looking for their first win of the 2021-22 season.
