The Raptors couldn’t find the bottom of the net in Game 5, shooting 38.8% from the field and 30% from deep. They also got into a bit of foul trouble, with Pascal Siakam most notably. Toronto committed 24 fouls in the game, allowing Boston to shoot 27 free throws, which was 14 more than the Raptors took.
Meanwhile, Toronto also couldn’t stop Boston from scoring. The Celtics shot 49.4% from the field, while also converting on 88.9% of those free throws we talked about. They outscored the Raptors by 27 points by halftime, allowing them to coast to the big win.
If there’s a silver lining, Toronto has been playing massive minutes. The blowout allowed them to dial their starters’ minutes back a bit, so maybe they will look less fatigued today. They better hope so, because a shooting performance like last game will send them home.
