(Sports Network) - The Atlantic Division-leading Boston Celtics shoot for their third straight win tonight, when they host the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden.
You can see the game on TSN and TSN HD beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.
The Raptors have dropped two of three and five of their last seven games, including a 116-81 decision against the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday.
Chris Bosh ended with 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Raptors, while Andrea Bargnani tallied 15 points in defeat. Amir Johnson added 13 points and eight rebounds off the bench for Toronto.
"We threw the ball away early on in the game and we continued to do so until the last possession [of the game]. We have to focus a lot more," said Bosh.
Boston has won back-to-back games and is coming off Wednesday's 113-110 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Paul Pierce scored 27 points and Kevin Garnett added 19 for the Celtics, who have won three of four overall.
"Paul, to me, was the savior of the game," Boston head coach Doc Rivers said. "I played him way too many minutes, but that happens once in a while."
Ray Allen netted 18 points and Rajon Rondo recorded 10 points and seven assists in the win. The Celtics will try to improve their 6-3 home mark Friday night.
Boston won all four meetings with Toronto a season ago and is 11-2 in the last 13 matchups at home in this series.
