Celtics Extend Winning Streak with Victory Over Raptors

The Boston Celtics secured their fifth consecutive win, defeating the Toronto Raptors 121-113 on December 7, 2025. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 30 points, while Derrick White added a crucial 27 points, including 14 in the first quarter.

The Celtics initially built a commanding 23-point lead but saw it dwindle as the Raptors outscored them 34-10 in a dominant stretch during the third quarter, taking their first lead of the game early in the fourth.

However, back-to-back three-pointers from White and Payton Pritchard shifted momentum back to the Celtics, who regained control of the game. Pritchard finished with 15 points and was instrumental in key moments, including a go-ahead three-pointer that sealed the victory.

Neemias Queta contributed a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. The Raptors, despite strong performances from Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes, lost their third straight game, struggling at home as they prepare for an upcoming matchup against New York in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

This victory places the Celtics third in the Eastern Conference standings as they continue their strong start to the season, winning seven of their last eight games. Their next challenge is against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
