BOSTON -- It felt like Celtics center Robert Williams was everywhere during the first half of Boston's game against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Williams started the game with a tip slam on one of Boston's first possessions. He recorded his second offensive rebound just a minute later and, playing against a Toronto group that head coach Ime Udoka noted was not known for its size, completely dominated inside.
Williams later had what should have been a block called a goal tend, a dunk in transition and -- perhaps most notably -- finished on an and-one alley-oop assisted by Marcus Smart.
Check it out:
Williams scored 14 points on 7-for-8 from the field with nine rebounds in the first half alone. He was a key reason why the Celtics raced out to a 62-46 lead at the intermission as his impact inside helped Boston out-rebound Toronto 28-20.
