Celtics vs Raptors OT

[Snoopy the Celtics Beagle]

The five minute overtime period was a fast-scoring one, as Toronto 
tried to break away, but the Celtics kept pushing back, with the 
score favoring the Raptors as the clock, again, ran down.

With 1:16 left, Toronto had opened up a five point lead, at 
112-107.  It wasn't looking good for the Good Guys, as the score 
remained unchanged for far too long, finally dwindling to less than 
20 seconds, then less.

The Raptors formally ended it at the free throw line, though the C's 
responded with a trip of their own, though trading free throws with 
so little time would not erase a 5 point deficit.

The time finally ran out on the Celtics attempt to go 2-0 in 
preseason, as the Raptors won it in overtime, 118-112.

But perhaps the Raptors fans are a little less haughty when comparing 
their team to ours.  The Celtics made them work for it, and perhaps 
that gives the Good Guys reason to raise expectations higher as 
preseason goes onward.
