Game 42: Celtics at Raptors (Post Game)

It was the return of one of Toronto's most cherished sons, Amir Johnson, who signed with the Boston Celtics in the Summer on a two year deal. Could his Celtics come in to Toronto and stop the Raptor's winning streak at 5 games?


  • No they could not. Raptors win 115-109.  Though it was a tight affair. Celtics were hot from three with Jae Crowder, Isaiah Thomas and Kelly Olynyk making some big threes.
  • DeMar DeRozan is really proving to be one of the highlight players in the Eastern Conference this year and a damn bear lock for the All-Star Game. 34 Points tonight folks, he's got us alright
  • Amir Johnson received a warm welcome on his return from the fans and the organization. They played a tribute video for his between the first 2 quarters on how the fans loved his hustle, his infectious personality and his true love for the community and city of Toronto. In fact tonight is his annual "I Roll With Amir" event where he takes Toronto fans out for a night on the town. Continuing the tradition and not forgetting the fans who loved him from the start
Tonight's Raptor Track!

Amos Lee - "Johnson Blvd"

They really should name a street after this guy. Amir Johnson I mean, not Amos Lee who is a folk singer/songwriter from Philly. "Johnson Blvd" comes from his 2013 album Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song.


Raptors now 2nd in East 27-15. Celtics 8th in East 22-21.
