The championship rings have been given out, the championship banner has been unveiled, and the season opener concluded with a win. The season couldn’t have started any better for the reigning NBA champions, Toronto Raptors, as they look to keep the good times rolling when they take on the Boston Celtics tonight.
The Raps are coming off a gritty 130-122 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. They needed huge night from Pascal Siakam, who recorded 34 points, 18 rebounds, and five assists, and Fred VanVleet, who had a career-best 34 points on 12-for-18 shooting from the field to go along with seven assists and five rebounds.
