Raptors vs. Celtics: Notes, quotes, and reactions (Feb. 11)

Some promising trends and plenty of weirdness in Boston’s Thursday night win over Toronto.

Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown set a career-high in the Celtics’ 120 – 106 home win over the Toronto Raptors Thursday night, and it wasn’t the only one — nor the most impactful.

Reserve forward Semi Ojeleye hit a new career high in scoring with 24 points and 6 rebounds in a surprise start, while rookie guard Payton Pritchard set a novel career high in made 3-pointers with the Oregon product connecting on 6-of-8 of his treys. That’s also exactly how Ojeleye faired from the field with the duo becoming the first pair of Celtics players in franchise history to log such a stat line in the same game to cap off a most peculiar offensive night for the Celtics.
