When the Raptors lose games against the Celtics, they really find ways to lose them. That’s how it went in Game 1 of this series, and that’s how it went in Monday night’s Game 5. Toronto was out of sync right from the jump, falling behind early and then sinking deeper into a hard-to-define malaise on the way to a 111-89 defeat. There are not many positives to record here. And what’s more, it’s hard not to feel a mighty disappointment at the outcome — because of how the Raptors lost, sure, but also given how things had been trending for them over the past week.
