"The Toronto Raptors were without any starters tonight in their third pre-season game versus the Boston Celtics and opted to start their entire second unit. Gradey Dick took full advantage. In 24 minutes, Gradey poured in 22 points on 13 shots, adding six rebounds, one assist, and one steal as well. Raptors rookie Collin Murray-Boyles left the game in the 1st half with a bruised right elbow and did not return. He scored four points in 7 minutes."
"Former Raptor Chris Boucher made his return to Toronto for the first time as a member of the Celtics and poured in 19 points in 23 minutes, along with 9 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. A full revenge game of sorts. Payton Pritchard also added 19 points, while Anfernee Simons added 18 points. The Raptors were down 21 points at halftime, but clawed back thanks to the help of Chucky Hepburn and Jonathan Mogbo, who dominated defensively."
