"AJ Lawson anticipated a pass from one Maine Celtics guard to the other just over halfcourt, nabbed it, ran out, completed the pick-six by throwing down a forceful one-handed hammer and proceeded to emphatically high-five a young fan in the front row. The Toronto-born wing was up to 15 points in the first quarter - six coming on similar sprints past a retreating Celtics defence on the fastbreak - and his Raptors 905 squad was up 14."
"The 905's numbers thus far are staggering. They're plus-104, winning all three of their games by greater than 30 points. It's their largest point differential to start a season in franchise history. They've also held opponents under 100 points in every game and have allowed the fewest points against through three games in their history. Opponents are shooting 32% against them and have committed 66 turnovers."
AJ Lawson scored 35 points and energized the crowd with highlight plays, including a one-handed dunk and a front-row high-five with a young fan.
