TORONTO — Grant Williams scored a career-high 25 points, Jaylen Brown had 27 and the Boston Celtics overcame the absence of leading scorer Jayson Tatum to extend their winning streak to nine games by beating the Toronto Raptors 106-104. Boston's injury woes worsened when guard Marcus Smart injured his right ankle in the final minute of the first half and had to be helped to the locker room. He did not return. Celtics center Robert Williams was ruled out for the second half because of a hyperextended knee. Pascal Siakam had 29 points and 10 assists but Toronto lost its third straight.
