Boston takes the lead. This Sunday, as part of Game 1 of the second round of the Eastern Conference of the 2020 NBA play-offs, still played in the Orlando “bubble”, the Celtics easily beat the Toronto Raptors (94-112). A victory due to a great collective strength on the part of Boston, which considerably hampered the defending champions. The latter were dominated by their opponents for one night, from the start to the end of this meeting. Among the winners of the day, no less than six players finished with 10 points or more, including two also in double-doubles. They are Marcus Smart (21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists), Jayson Tatum (21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists), Jaylen Brown (17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists), Kemba Walker ( 15 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists), Daniel Theis (13 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist) and Robert Williams (10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists).
Lowry was not enough
Note that the French Vincent Poirier made a short appearance on the floor, but his two short minutes of play did not allow him to open his counter (0 points (0/0 on shots, 0/0 on 3pts and 0/0 on free throws), 0 rebound, 1 assist, 0 foul, 1 interception, 0 lost ball and 0 against in 2 minutes of play). Opposite, despite including Kyle Lowry (17 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists), uncertain for a moment for this meeting due to an ankle injury, or even Serge Ibaka (15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist), the Toronto Raptors did not have the last word. A clean and flawless victory for Boston which allows the Celtics to ideally start this series, thus leading 1-0.
