A devastating first quarter that ended at 25-11 in favor of the Celtics on defense. The Raptors were seconds away from ending the first half with no points on the fast break and Boston, in a serious and hard-working game, was fitting blow by blow to end the game early against a Nick Nurse who not even with his Hollywood cry could change.
Welcome back Jaylen dear
Following his abysmal performance in Game 4 two nights ago, Jaylen Brown rebuilt his image in a game that was central to the franchise. 27 points and 6 rebounds plus an assassination attempt on OG Anunoby they were the Celtics’ 7 reentry letter that led Boston to a victory that leaves them one game away from returning to the conference finals for the third time in four years.

After the sentiment that the Raptors brought, this game gives hope back to Boston, who will have a chance to qualify for the eastern finals on Wednesday in game 6 of the series and is looking forward to the return of good old Gordon Hayward.
