Though both teams traded leads throughout the game, never leading for more than 10 points, the Celtics obtained a two-point lead after Danie Theis' dunk half a second left after a pass from Kemba Walker. Lowry scored game-high 31 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds for the Raptors, while Fred Vanvleet added 25 points. Pascal Siakam and Anunoby finished with 16 and 12 points respectively. Kemba Walker scored 29 points for the Celtics, while Jaylen Brown added 19 points. This was the first time the Celtics lost in their seven playoffs games.

Post the iconic OG Anunoby buzzer-beater, Raptors head coach Nick Nurse spoke about how a 2009 DVD mentioned Hubie Brown's play helped the Raptors win. While talking to ESPN's Marc Spears, Nurse revealed that coaches spoke about Hubie Brown's play in the DVD, which is what their team opted for. However, OG Anunoby later revealed that VanVleet and Siakam were the first two options for the shot, not him.

In the end, Anunoby went to the opposite corner from where Lowry was standing. Though Celctics guard Jayson Tatum mentioned Anunoby was moving, no one answered the call as Brown was still on Siakam. "It was all those actions that took place that left me open," Anunoby said, speaking about how Marc Gasol and Brown faced each other in the lane. By the time Brown reached Anunoby, it was too late.
