HIGHLIGHTS: Raptors vs Celtics – NBA Playoffs 2020
Brace for a pressure-packed Game 7 as the Raptors and Celtics fight for the last Eastern Conference finals berth

It’s gut check time. 

Fresh off an epic duel, the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics clash for one last time this NBA season in a do-or-die Game 7 on Friday, September 11 (Saturday, September 12, Philippine time).

The winner will advance to the Eastern Conference finals against Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.

Just when it seemed the Celtics would easily clinch a conference finals seat, the Raptors roared back from a 0-2 series deficit to force a winner-take-all. 

The Raptors – serving another reminder that they’re the defending champions – stayed alive after outlasting the Celtics in a double overtime thriller, 125-122, in Game 6 where Kyle Lowry took charge and Norman Powell delivered off the bench. 

But Boston’s Jaylen Brown said the Celtics are ready to “embrace the challenge” of a Game 7 as he looks to lead with Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, and Marcus Smart.

Game time is 9 am.
