Brad Stevens explained why the Boston Celtics shifted to a smaller lineup in Game 4 against the Toronto Raptors.

The head coach of Boston said he elected to go with smaller lineups in part because the big man of the Raptors Serge Ibaka created a lot of problems for the Celtics’ team defense.

Ibaka had 18 points for Toronto, being perfect from the three-point line (4/4).

The Raptors evened the series and now have the chance to take the lead, as Game 5 takes place on Monday.
