The Toronto Raptors ( 46 - 21 ) defeated the Boston Celtics ( 39 - 30 ) 105 - 91 on Friday . Toronto 's outstanding defense has been one of the keys to their highly successful season , and their current position as the second seed in the Eastern Conference . However , it was their offense that made an early splash Friday , as Toronto jumped out to a 30 - 14 lead on the Celtics after one period . Because of their stinginess on the other side of the ball , falling behind by double digits to the Raptors is usually a death knell for most teams , and such was the case again Friday . Boston was forced into catch - up mode all night long , and could n't quite overtake Toronto despite playing much better in the second and third quarters . On the injury front , the Raptors played another game without starting center Jonas Valanciunas , who missed a second consecutive contest with his bruised hand . Boston was led by Isaiah Thomas , who posted 20 points , three rebounds , three assists and a steal . Evan Turner pitched in with 12 points , five rebounds , two assists and two steals . No other Celtics player managed double - digit scoring , but two of their young players did have an opportunity to receive valuable minutes . R.J. Hunter managed eight points and an assist to pace the bench , while Terry Rozier was right behind him with seven points , five assists and three rebounds over 10 efficient minutes . Despite their fourth consecutive loss , the Celtics remain in second place in the Eastern Conference 's Atlantic Division , but do drop to the sixth seed in the conference . They head to Philadelphia to take on the Sixers on Sunday . Toronto 's attack was spearheaded by Kyle Lowry , who tallied 32 points , five assists , four rebounds , two steals and a block . Luis Scola became the latest power forward to have a productive game against the Celtics ' vulernable frontcourt , posting 17 points , three rebounds and a steal . DeMar DeRozan found points a bit hard to come by against Avery Bradley 's typically stingy defense , but did manage 15 points , seven rebounds , six assists and a steal . Norman Powell , getting the start at small forward for James Johnson ( foot ) , supplied 10 points and two rebounds . Terrence Ross led the reserves with nine points , two rebounds , two assists and two steals . The Raptors remain atop the Eastern Conference 's Atlantic Division , and have a hold of the second seed in the conference as well , two games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers .
