The throw in 1.8 seconds was a sure win! The Greens refused to collapse: Brown retired from injury, White scored 33+9+6

On October 16, the NBA preseason continued, with the Celtics playing against the Raptors at home. In this game, all the main players of the two teams came on the field, and it started to get into a tug-of-war. The point difference never widened, and the scores alternated. After three quarters, the Celtics led by 4 points. In the last quarter, the Celtics established a double-digit lead with a wave of offensive, but the Raptors hit 4 consecutive three-pointers to equalize the score, and then Tillman completed a layup. In the end, the Celtics narrowly defeated the Raptors 110-108.

This game also had twists and turns. The Celtics were also shocked into a cold sweat and almost collapsed at the last moment. When Pritchard made two free throws, he took a 106-94 lead with only 1 minute and 53 seconds left in the game, but then Shedd and Hepburn hit three-pointers one after another, successfully closing the gap. Walter scored from an air cut, with only 4 points left. Simmons made two free throws to stop the bleeding, but Battelle made another three-pointer, and then a super long three-pointer, directly tying the score at 108.

More than a minute later, the Raptors' 14-2 offensive directly tied the score. The situation changed instantly. In the last 3.3 seconds, the Celtics paused to arrange the winning tactics. It has to be said that Green Army coach Mazzula was still very cautious, and his tactics were also very successful. Tillman got the opportunity inside, and he grasped it very well. With 1.8 seconds left, he hit the throw. Then the Raptors made a long pass error, and the Celtics completed a quasi-win.

For the Celtics, Brown only played 7 minutes before he suffered an injury and then withdrew from the game. The team was still very cautious, after all, this was only a preseason game. After playing 7 minutes, Brown scored 7 points and 2 rebounds on 2 of 4 shots. White took on the heavy responsibility, playing 34 minutes, making 10 of 23 shots, 6 of 17 three-pointers, a game-high 33 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks. He will also be one of the team's offensive core in the new season.

The Raptors also almost completed a magical reversal. The performance of the substitute players on the court was still good, but it was just a little bit worse. Ingram was still in good shape this time, with a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds on 8-of-22 shooting; Barrett had 17 points, and Quickley had 14 points and 6 assists. He also talked trash during the game and was angrily scolded by Green Army coach Mazzula.
