NBA, Celtics Twitter reaction to Boston’s 125-119 OT loss to the Raptors

The Boston Celtics hosted the Toronto Raptors for their second of four preseason exhibition games on Wednesday night, the last home tilt in the slate of friendlies ahead of the Celtics’ 2022-23 campaign.

Boston jumped out to an early lead, but the Raptors fought back, clawing back into striking range by the time the Celtics sold their starters, forcing overtime and ultimately beating Boston 125-119 in overtime. Despite the poor showing from several deep rotation players, Jaylen Brown (23 points) led all scorers, and Sam Hauser continued lighting up the league from deep off the bench with 22 points on 5-of-8 shooting from deep.

Let’s take a look at what NBA and Celtics Twitter had to say about the exhibition loss.
