Reserves power Raptors past Celtics 111-91; Toronto just one game back of Boston
TORONTO — Celtics coach Brad Stevens knew what Toronto’s bench was capable of heading into Tuesday’s game, yet Boston still wasn’t able to contain the Raptors second unit.
Led by 20 points from C.J. Miles, Toronto’s bench combined for 59 points in the Raptors’ 111-91 win over the Celtics.
A 23-11 run by Toronto’s reserves in the second quarter that blew the game open. The Raptors’ bench combined for 28 of Toronto’s 36 second-quarter points.
“There’s not many groups I enjoy watching more than their second group,” Stevens said. “When they’re all on the floor together, the way they play, the way they move the ball, the way they cut — its a fun team to watch play.”
