The Boston Celtics might not win the Atlantic division but they will not finish in the bottom of the Atlantic either. The C's gave the defending Atlantic division champion Toronto Raptors all they wanted as two of the most underrated point gods in the logo went to scores table and filled the score book up with all sorts of goodies!
Toronto lead 35-23 at the end of one only to find themselves trailing at the break 57-54. The Celts were running on all cylinders behind "Double R" Rondo, J.G. of Hoya Paranoia, the Olynyk Clinic of Zags Hoops, and "Sully" of Thad Matta Hoops of Columbus, Ohio U!
That all seized in the 2nd half as the Raptors riding former Villanova star Kyle Lowry's 14 points in the 3rd frame for a #WeTheNorth 88-86 lead. With two minutes remaining Raptors PF Patrick Patterson's money ball made it 105-99 Toronto only to have the Celts tie the game up at 105 behind back to back money balls from Green and rook Marcus Smart.
It was then a DeMar DeRozan slam and free throws along with a Kyle Lowry "J" that sealed it 110-107 Dinosaurs win as Jeff Green missed a potential game-tying money ball with 2.9 seconds remaining.
Lowry goes for a game-high 35 points on just 12 of 17 from the field with partner in crime DeRozan adding 23 points and six helpers. Rondo goes 15 assists, thirteen points, and ten boards with Green adding a team-high 20 points with Sully (19 pts 16 rebs) and Olynyk (18 pts 13 rebs) doing damage.
#WeTheNorth runs their 2014-15 W-L to 4-1 with the Celts falling to 1-3...
