In the second half of the game, the Raptors failed to turn events in their own right into the clutches of the Boston defensive team, and were hit the hardest by a tragic hit from the game: 33 accurate shots of 85 attempts (38.8%) .
“Our defense tonight complemented the attack and it worked very well,” said Kemba Walker, who had 21 points and 7 assists.
The most productive among the winners was Jaylen Brown, who scored 27 points (7/11 double, 3/7 trit, 4/4 penalty), bounced 6 and took 3 balls.
The Raptors scored just 11 points in the first quarter, making it the club’s second-worst in the playoffs. The Canadian team scored 9 points in the fourth of the 2002 playoffs against the Detroit Pistons.
“It will sound incredible, but I think our attack was great for at least the first 8 minutes. It was incredible and I don’t think it’s possible to create even more free throws, “Raptors quarterback Nick Nurse said after the game.
Fred VanVleet stood out in the Toronto club team with 18 points (4/7 double, 2/7 trit, 4/4 penalty). The defender also had 5 assists.
Tragically, the match went to Marc Gasolis, who spent the last 20 minutes on the bench. The Spaniard did not score a point (0/3 double, 0/1 trit) in 14 minutes and grabbed 5 balls.
The game of the sixth series will take place at night from Wednesday to Thursday at 1:00 p.m. 30 minutes.
Celtics: Jaylen Brown 27 (d. 7/11), Kemba Walker 21 (d. 7/9), Jayson Tatum 18 (5/15 years, 10 pm), Brad Wanamaker and Daniel Theis (8 at.) After 15, Marcus Smart 12.
“Raptors”: Fredas VanVleetas 18, Normanas Powellas 16 (4/11 trit.), Pascalis Siakamas, Kyle’as Lowry and Mattas Thomasas at 10.
