The Celtics rallied from a 22-point deficit to defeat the Toronto Raptors 98-93 on Wednesday night, completing a four-game road sweep and extending their winning streak to five. Boston finished the trip 4-0 despite facing a substantial deficit in its final stop.
Jayson Tatum led Boston with 24 points, Derrick White scored 19 and Payton Pritchard contributed 14, according to Boston.com. Those three players combined for 57 of the Celtics’ 98 points, accounting for more than half of the offense in a game ultimately decided by five.
The comeback also came with a scheduling challenge: Boston was playing for the second consecutive night, MassLive reported. The Celtics nevertheless turned a game in which they had trailed by 22 into another victory, preserving their unbeaten record on the trip.
Wednesday’s result delivered two milestones at once. It completed the four-game sweep away from home and pushed the broader winning streak to five games, according to the results reported by MassLive and Boston.com. The Toronto game was both the trip’s finale and the latest addition to that run.
Tatum, White and Pritchard supply 57 points
Tatum’s 24 points were five more than White’s total and 10 more than Pritchard’s. Together, White and Pritchard added 33 points alongside Tatum, giving Boston three scorers with at least 14 points in the win, based on the figures reported by Boston.com.
White also received individual recognition from MassLive, which selected him as its player of the game. His 19 points ranked second among the three Boston scorers highlighted in the available reports, behind Tatum and ahead of Pritchard.
The three scoring totals left 41 points supplied by the rest of Boston’s lineup. While Tatum had the largest individual contribution among the players cited, White and Pritchard together accounted for roughly a third of the Celtics’ final total.
A road sweep secured by a rally
The scale of the turnaround was considerably larger than the final margin. From a 22-point hole to a five-point victory, Boston produced a net change of 27 points in the teams’ scoring margin. The Celtics finished with 98 points while holding the Raptors’ final total to 93.
MassLive’s reports identified both the deficit and the completed road sweep as central features of the result. Its coverage also noted the back-to-back schedule, placing the comeback at the end of a trip that required Boston to play on consecutive nights.
The final score left Boston with a narrow win rather than a comfortable margin, but the outcome kept both runs intact. The Celtics departed the four-game trip with four victories, and Wednesday’s rally ensured their overall winning streak reached five instead of ending in Toronto.
