The Toronto Raptors defeated the Boston Celtics, 114 - 106, at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday. Throughout his first seven seasons, DeMar DeRozan had managed two performances of over 40 points. In what has already proven to be a stellar 2016 - 17 campaign, the All-Star shooting guard has already accomplished the feat on three occasions, with Tuesday night being one of those. DeRozan led all scorers with 41 points, which he complemented with 13 boards and two steals. The effort included a 16 - of - 29 tally from the field, and even a rather rare three - pointer on two attempts from beyond the arc. Toronto (25 - 13) was hot collectively from long range, and it proved to be the difference in the game. Both teams equaled the others' solid 47 percent success rate from the field, yet the Raptors managed to drain their 22 three - point attempts at a 46 percent clip. The Celtics (23 - 15), meanwhile, noticeably lagged behind with a 33 percent figure. Isaiah Thomas led the way for Boston with 27 points, seven assists and a rebound. Marcus Smart logged another start for Avery Bradley (Achilles) and went for 16 points, five assists, four rebounds, four steals and a block. Al Horford managed a near double - double with 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists and a steal. Jae Crowder and Amir Johnson combined for just 13 points, but Gerald Green and Kelly Olynyk helped make up for the void off the bench. Green led the second unit with 14 points and five rebounds, and Olynyk provided 13 points, four boards, an assist and a block. DeRozan's usual partner - in - crime, Kyle Lowry, backed him up with 24 points, nine assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block. Jonas Valanciunas contributed an impressive 18 - point, 23 - rebound double - double that also included a pair of blocks. DeMarre Carroll supplied 11 points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. Patrick Patterson drew the start but went scoreless over 21 minutes. Lucas Nogueira and Cory Joseph paced the bench with matching seven - point efforts. The Celtics return home to face off with the Washington Wizards on Wednesday evening, while the Raptors remain home and next tangle with the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.
