The Boston Celtics secured a gutsy 108-105 win against the Toronto Raptors after a furious duel in the in-season tournament tilt’s second half on Friday night, with guard Derrick White’s clutch late 3-pointer playing a pivotal role in the victory for the Celtics.
The game was marked by ups and downs with multiple lead changes in what was a close contest for most of the game, with the Celtics facing an especially determined Raptors team in the second half. Despite a sloppy performance on Boston’s part by their own admission postgame, the Celtics composed themselves in key moments, showing off their exceptional resilience compared to seasons past and a winning mentality.
The Celtics extended their winning streak to five games, rebounding impressively after two losses with their ability to respond to adversity and make crucial plays in critical situations.
