It was a tough night for the Celtics last night, and I hate back-to-back games because of the Celtics age. Saying that, the Celtics have showed time and again that they are good at bouncing back from losses. Boston won four in a row following a 79-71 loss to Phoenix on Jan. 20, then posted five straight victories after an 88-87 defeat against Cleveland on Jan. 29. Playing the Raptors never hurts either.
The Celtics have played the Raptors twice already this year, and neither game has been close (BOS 96-73, and BOS 100-64). I think this game will be a bit closer after the Celtics have had to travel, and coming off an emotional loss.
Celtics win 94-82
