The Toronto Raptors have taken the momentum back in their series with the Boston Celtics.

After starting 0-2, the defending champions have now won back-to-back games to tie the series thanks to a 100-93 victory.

The pressure now falls on the Celtics, as the Raptors have won the last four series where they’ve been tied 2-2.

The Raptors led for most of the game, with the Celtics only briefly having leads in the second the third quarters.

Pascal Siakam (23 PTS, 11 REB) led the Raptors in scoring, but they spread out the offensive contributions. Kyle Lowry (22 PTS, 11 REB, 7 AST), Fred VanVleet (17 PTs, 7 REB, 6 AST), and Serge Ibaka (18 PTS, 7 REB) all had solid games.

One must wonder, though, if fatigue is going to become an issue for the Raptors. Three of their main rotation players played heavy minutes again today.

Siakam (46 minutes), VanVleet (45 minutes) and Lowry (44 minutes) are going to be feeling that fatigue as Nick Nurse consistently turns to them to play over 40 minutes a game.

Jayson Tatum (24 PTS, 10 REB, 3 AST) had a solid game for the Celtics, but no one else on his team broke the 20-point barrier.
