Boston Celtics 78-96 Toronto Raptors: 5 talking points

#4 Raptors role players beastly performance

#9 Serge Ibaka

The Raptors also did not have huge success on the scoring front. They did take huge advantages of their opponents' errors. The bench and role players contributed to a not so great offensive night for the Raptors. Their bench alone scored 44 points with stand out performances from Delon Wright, Fred VanVleet, and Jack Poeltl.

Delon Wright had a night to remember. He was effective on both sides of the floor and contributed to the cause with a superb eight points, eight assists, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He was outstanding driving to the basket and taking on the Boston defense, which is one of the best in the NBA this season.

Fred VanVleet was effective from beyond the arc scoring thrice. He ended the game with 15 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds. Poeltl scored 9 points and his tiptoe lay in over Al Horford in the second quarter was the highlight of his evening.

Serge Ibaka had a brilliant fourth quarter. He dominated initially with his defensive display under the board with two blocks but ended the night with 15 points. He will be huge in the Playoffs for the Raptors and will be depending on his defensive displays if they want to go deep in the Playoffs.
