The Toronto Raptors secured a much-needed victory against the Boston Celtics, winning 110-97, led by RJ Barrett's impressive performance with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. This win marks the Raptors' second consecutive victory, following their earlier triumph over the Golden State Warriors. The Raptors, currently at 10-31, are eager to improve upon their record as they find themselves behind last season's pace.

Point guard Davion Mitchell, starting in place of the injured Immanuel Quickly, emphasized the team's determination to improve. Head coach Darko Rajakovic praised the team's connectedness and competitive spirit, especially after a tough loss earlier in the month. The Raptors' defense limited Boston to just 15 points in the final quarter, showcasing their growing resilience.
