The Boston Celtics came to Montreal to play as they squared off with the Toronto Raptors for their final preseason tilt of the 2022-23 NBA season, and got more than a handful out of the Raptors in a game marred by controversial techs and a slippery floor adding drama where no one wants to see it.
The Celtics and Raptors stayed within a few possessions either way throughout the entire contest, Boston finally falling in overtime 137-134. The Celtics were led by star wing Jaylen Brown with 23 points, with superstar forward Jayson Tatum adding 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, and combo guard Derrick White chipping in another 23 points on a sizzling 5-of-6 attempts from beyond the arc.
With the loss, Boston finishes their slate of four preseason games at 2-2.
