Who will WIN this matchup?
Toronto Raptors
Boston Celtics
Current odds:
Toronto Raptors: (+106)
Boston Celtics: (-125)
• The line for this game is Celtics by 1.5 points.
• A half-second was all that stood between the Raptors and a 3-0 series deficit in Game 3 on Thursday before OG Anunoby beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer for a 104-103 victory. Instead of falling into a hole no team in NBA history has ever emerged from, Toronto has new life in its quest to defend its NBA title.
• Toronto won’t be able to count on Boston dwelling in the past. In the moments after Anunoby’s stunning game-winner off the inbounds pass from Kyle Lowry over the head of 7-foot-5 Tacko Fall, Celtics players already knew they let one get away. But many had already moved on by Friday.
• The defeat Thursday was Boston’s first of the playoffs after beginning 6-0. Even without Gordon Hayward, lost in Game 1 of the first round with an ankle injury, the Celtics have been firing on all cylinders, with point guard Kemba Walker getting his turn to lead the way with 29 points in Game 3. “We have a really competitive group. We have a really intrinsically motivated group,” said coach Brad Stevens. “… We were on the unfortunate end of a tough loss last night. So you lick your wounds, you’re feeling whatever emotions you’re feeling, and then you move on.”
• The Raptors found themselves in a similar mindset after blowing a 12-point lead late in Game 2 to fall behind 0-2 in the series. Through the first two games, Toronto’s play had been sloppy — the team was shooting 38.5 percent and 26.3 percent from three. Lowry, VanVleet and Pascal Siakam had each failed to reach 20 points in both losses.
• On Thursday, Lowry scored a game-high 31 points, and VanVleet backed him up with 25. Lowry in particular earned praise after the win — not just for his assist to Anunoby, but because he played 46 of the possible 48 minutes in the contest. “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anybody play the game harder, any place I’ve ever coached or watching a game or anything,” said Raptors coach Nick Nurse on his point guard. “I don’t know of any higher compliment I could give the guy than that. He does it all by sheer will and toughness.”
