"White is now shooting 39.2 percent from deep in his last 10 games, averaging 20 points per game, and with the Raptors zeroed in on Jaylen Brown in the second half of Sunday's game, White hit three massive buckets in the fourth quarter. The first may have been the biggest: The game felt like it was on the verge of disaster for the Celtics with 7:51 remaining when White erased the 3-point lead the Raptors had built with a big triple."
"He then found Payton Pritchard for a go-ahead three that gave the Celtics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Then with 3:29 left and the Celtics up by six, White delivered a haymaker that left the Raptors staggering - a 32-foot bomb that pushed the lead to nine. His mid-range jumper a minute later pushed the advantage back to double-digits. The Raptors never mounted a serious threat again."
