The Boston team rose to 3rd place in the East with 15 wins and 9 losses
Neemias Queta achieved his fifth double-double of the season, with 11 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 shot tackles and 1 steal, contributing, in 33.40 minutes (career record in usage time), with his consistency to the Celtics’ victory (121-113) in Toronto.
The Boston group, led by Derrick White (27 p, 5 a, 4 r, 3 dl) and Jaylen Brown (30 p, 8 r, 5 a, 1 dl, 1 rb), almost always controlled the score, reaching the break ahead (77-59), but the Raptors reacted in the 3rd period (32-20) and even managed to overtake (98-97) the Celtics in the 4th period, but the outsiders were stronger in the final minutes.
As for Neemias, he was a starter and very useful as usual, because whenever he was in the game the Celtics grew, being the only one on his team to achieve a double-double and with him on the field the Celtics won by 12 – a category where he was only behind White and Brown (+18 each).
