The Toronto Raptors' defence wasn't exactly at its best in the first half against the Boston Celtics on Friday.
The Celtics were a perfect 15-for-15 from two-point range in the first half — and led 68-40 at the break.
ESPN reports it's the first time in the last 25 years that a team has shot 100 per cent from two-point range in a half — with a minimum of 10 attempts.
The Celtics were 24-for-40 overall (60 per cent) after going 9-for-25 (36 per cent) from three-point range.
Boston's perfect night from two-point range ended on its first possession of the second half when Robert Williams III missed a driving floater.
The 28-point deficit was the second-largest halftime deficit in franchise history for Toronto.
The Raptors entered Friday needing to win to have a chance of avoiding the 9-10 sudden-death game in the play-in tournament.
