We deserved it the way we played," said Celtics coach Ime Udoka after the game. They basically came out and punked us, outplayed us. Jayson Tatum had 18 points on 8-of shot attempts and a returning Horford registered 11 points, 11 rebounds, plus four blocks in 25 minutes as a starter. Richardson went a perfect 4-of-4 on 3's to record 12 points off the bench as the only other that reached double-digit scoring for the Celtics as the fans let the team hear their displeasure throughout the second half.
With left in the third quarter, Tatum was called for a technical foul and the Celtics trailed before scoring eight unanswered points. The Raptors would respond with a run of their own to cap the period and take a advantage into the final frame. Boston would only manage to put up 19 points throughout the fourth as Udoka pulled his starters with less than five minutes left to play.

We preview Game 2 and what adjustments Celtics need to make against the Nets. Horford, who started against the Raptors Saturday, finished with 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field and 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. Ime Udoka went with a double-big lineup of Horford and Robert Williams for the first time this preseason to start the game. If we need to do that, and if not, we will do the typical four perimeter guys with one big guy.
But with us, why I think it's going to work is we all take the challenge and can guard the perimeter when we need to, with him, I need to space the floor. It's what I have to do," Horford said via his postgame conference of the double-big lineup with Williams. When he rolls to the basket, it puts a lot of pressure on the rim, and it opens stuff up on the perimeter.
