Boston Celtics, Orlando begins in the semifinals of the Eastern Conference of the National League Basketball Association (NBA) 112: 94 (39:23, 20:19, 29:31, 25:21) defeated the Toronto Raptors and advanced 1: 0 in the race to four wins.
The start of the match was not the case for the Toronto club: quick fouls eroded the defense and team leader Pascal Siakam broke the rules three times. After his third mistake, Nick Nurse asked for a review of the episode, but he didn’t notice and the Celtics parted ways even 39:20.
In the first half alone, the Raptors committed up to 11 times. Later, when the problem was fixed, a very weak blow began to prick his leg. In the first half of the game, only 29 percent of Toronto’s throw-ins (13/44) reached the goal, and Kemba Walker closed the second quarter with a three-point lead: 59:42.

The Celtics also finished the third quarter with a siren pitch, and all the Raptors’ efforts to get close only narrowed the gap to twelve points (76:88). The Boston club responded with another start and the Canadian team no longer hurt their opponents.
Jayson Tatum, who got stuck in the first half of the game, still became the Celtics’ most productive player. The American scored 21 points in 37 minutes (7/13 points, 2/5 points, 1/1 free throw), bounced 9 balls, made 2 assists, took the ball and made 4 errors.
