TORONTO (AP) — RJ Barrett had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors snapped a 10-game losing streak against Boston with a 110-97 victory over the Celtics on Wednesday night. Jakob Poeltl added 16 points and 11 rebounds as the Raptors won consecutive games for the third time. Scottie Barnes scored 18 points.
If the Denver Nuggets want to make a trade before the Feb. 6 deadline, they need to make a bigger splash than this.
What a difference a couple of weeks makes for the Boston Celtics. Sixteen days after being dealt its worst loss in franchise history, a 54-point defeat at the hands of the Boston Celtics (28-12), the Toronto Raptors (10-31) returned the favor with a 110-97 victory over the defending NBA champions.
Mark Williams scored a career high 31 points and had 13 rebounds to help the Charlotte Hornets beat the Utah Jazz 117-112 on Wednesday night. LaMelo Ball added 27 points, nine assists and three blocks to help Charlotte snap a seven-game road losing streak.
The Celtics are struggling and one of their stars says the team is playing without spirit and personality during this rough stretch.
The Celtics struggled to match the Raptors’ pace, with defensive breakdowns and Jakob Poeltl’s offensive dominance putting them on the back foot. Toronto’s off-ball movement and timely screens left Boston scrambling.
The Raptors are trying to keep their focus on what’s supposed to be important: winning basketball games. They’ve now put together a nice little two-game run for the first time in six weeks.
