The Boston Celtics took down the Toronto Raptors north of the border for their second win in as many nights, 112-96.<\/p>\n
With Jaylen Brown (illness) out, Payton Pritchard led the way for the Celtics with 33 points, including 19 in the third quarter. He just missed out on a triple-double, adding 10 assists and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n
C’s rookie Hugo Gonzalez enjoyed a big night off the bench with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and two steals. Luka Garza added 12 points and 10 rebounds in his first action in more than two weeks.<\/p>\n
With Saturday’s win, Boston (17-11) overtook Toronto (17-12) for the No. 3 seed in the East. It’ll look to earn its third consecutive victory Monday night vs. the Indiana Pacers.<\/p>\n
