Celtics Clash with Raptors in TD Garden Showdown

The Celtics' offense has been firing on all cylinders, with an offensive rating that outshines their defensive numbers. They've shown remarkable efficiency from inside the paint and have maintained a strong assist-to-turnover ratio. In their last game against the Pistons, they scored 66 points in the paint and turned over the ball only 12 times while dishing out 25 assists.


Defensively, Boston has been solid but will need to maintain vigilance against a Raptors team known for its resilience. The Celtics' defensive points per possession stand at an impressive rate, indicating their ability to disrupt opponents' scoring opportunities.


On top of that, bench contributions have played a significant role in Boston's success; however, it's worth noting that in their last game versus Detroit, bench points were lower than usual. This could be an area for potential improvement as they face off against Toronto.


The upcoming match promises to be exciting as both teams bring unique strengths to the court. Fans can expect high energy and competitive spirit as these Eastern Conference rivals go head-to-head.


Be sure not to miss this thrilling encounter scheduled for December 30th at TD Garden in Boston. Tip-off is set for 7:30 PM Eastern Time and fans can catch all the action live on NBCS-BOS or follow along internationally on TSN.
