Toronto Raptors: The bench needs to step up in game 3

Chris Boucher

The Celtics have enjoyed an emergence from forward, Robert Williams, and through two games his size is something that has been a major issue for the Raptors. Chris Boucher was able to put up a tiny bit of resistance, but for the most part, didn’t have much more luck than Gasol and Ibaka.

In Game 3, it would be nice to see Boucher get another chance, but this time get a few more touches on the offensive end to give the Raptors a bit more variety. He only put up 1 shot in game 2, and we’ve seen Boucher become a difference-maker once he gets going. Look for Boucher and Ibaka to partner up as we saw in the previous game, as they had much more success against Williams than Gasol did.
