Ray Allen Leads Celtics Past Raptors

TORONTO — Ray Allen made the winning three-pointer with less than 3 seconds to play, and finished with 33 points in the Boston Celtics’ 98-95 overtime victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
Kevin Garnett scored 10 of his 23 points in overtime and added 13 rebounds, giving him double-doubles in both of his games for Boston this season.
Paul Pierce added 13 points for Boston (2-0), and James Posey had 11. T.J. Ford led Toronto (2-1) with 32 points, and Chris Bosh had 19 points and 10 rebounds.
The Celtics played without head coach Doc Rivers, who left Toronto early Sunday after his father died in Chicago. Assistant Tom Thibodeau took over for Rivers.
Ford tied it at 95 on a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left in overtime, but Allen won it with a 3 from the corner on Boston’s final possession.
Allen, who made 11 of 16 shots, passed 17,000 points for his career.
