"Although the Raptors would be without their full cast of starters, the hometown crowd would be treated to the return of Chris Boucher, marking the veteran's first time back in Toronto wearing his new threads. Boucher would receive a hero's welcome, and justifably so, as the 32-year-old left behind a legacy as the franchise's most decorated bench player's of all time."
"Boucher picked up for Boston right where he left off in Toronto, getting the starting nod as the Celtics, where he posted these impressive stats in just over 23 minutes of action: 19 points on 70% field goal shooting, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and a plus/minus of +22. Boucher led his team in scoring, alongside fellow Oregon brother Payton Pritchard, and it really did seem like Boston was cruising to an inevitable victory,"
