The game here will feature a Celtics offense that has played decent facing a Raptors offense that has controlled the game. The Raptors, though, had a great defense that was able to keep the Brooklyn Nets in check the entire series. Look for the Celtics to be able to keep the Raptors offense somewhat in check, but the Celtics are not able to keep playing that good offensively in this series. Final Score, Toronto Raptors win and cover 118-110.
