Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics are both known as two of the best teams on the defensive end in the league. However, last night, it was only the Raptors who brought out their A-game on the defensive end while the Celtics did not play much defense.

Thanks to the Raptors' suffocating defense, the Celtics combined for a pathetic 6-for-30 from the three-point line and had a forgettable night. They did not allow Boston take any open shots and always stuck to their game plan.

In contrast, Boston did a poor job on the defensive end, and that led to the Raptors getting a lot of wide open shots which they knocked down with ease. They shot a breath-taking 17-for-36 from the three-point line, and that helped the Raptors get an easy victory.
