The Raptors’ first loss in the NBA bubble was their most lopsided defeat of the season against the Celtics

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA.—The Toronto Raptors’ seven-game winning streak, and their hot start in the NBA Walt Disney World bubble, came to an abrupt halt on Friday.

Led by Jaylen Brown’s 20 points, the Celtics beat Toronto 122-100 — the Raptors’ worst loss of the season.

Jayson Tatum added 18 points, while Kemba Walker finished with 17.

Fred VanVleet scored 13 points to top the Raptors, who trailed by as many as 40 points against their Eastern Conference rival and potential playoff opponent before coach Nick Nurse went deep into his bench for the fourth quarter.
