After first-round sweeps, both the Raptors and Celtics were looking to carry their momentum into Game 1 of their semifinal series on Sunday afternoon. Ultimately, though, it was Boston that got the best of Toronto Sunday in their opener. Propelled by 21 points apiece from Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart, the Celtics pulled out a 112-94 victory over the Raptors to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Kemba Walker recorded his first career postseason double-double with 18 points and 10 assists, and Jaylen Brown also added 17 points and five rebounds for Boston. In all, the Celtics had six players score in double figures, including all five starters.
Kyle Lowry led the way for Toronto with 17 points, but made just 5 of his 12 attempts from the floor, in what was a disturbing trend for the entire Raptors team. Boston held Toronto to 36 percent shooting from the field and 25 percent from long range and they limited All-Star Pascal Siakam to just 13 points on 5-for-16 shooting. It was certainly a rough start for the Raptors, but they have experience falling behind early in a series. In the Eastern Conference finals last season, Toronto fell behind 2-0 to Milwaukee. It then went on to win four straight games to secure a spot in the Finals. Toronto will now look to regroup and bounce back for Game 2 on Tuesday night.
