 By Kyle Irving @KyleIrv_

The Torotno Raptors had given themselves life in this series with OG Anunoby's Game 3 buzzer-beater, but now can they even the series?

The Boston Celtics will look to halt the Raptors momentum in Game 4, looking to regain control and place their rivals one game away from elimination.

For live updates, highlights and more from what should be a thrilling contest, we have you covered below.

Third quarter

To no one's surprise, Kyle Lowry has drawn two charges already in the second half. The Raptors maintain a 66-60 lead with five minutes remaining in the quarter.

The Raptors have owned the third quarter so far in this series - they're +18 in the third through the first three games. They've continued that trend buidling a 63-58 lead, but Jayson Tatum is doing all he can to keep the Celtics in the game with a pair of buckets through the first five mintues of the quarter.

Halftime: Raptors 49, Celtics 49

Fred VanVleet to beat the buzzer! Steady Freddy knocks down a 3-pointer to tie the game at 49 heading into the half.

Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka's 11 points apiece lead the Raptors offence, although Lowry has not scored since the first quarter. Pascal Siakam is having trouble finding any type of rhythm from beyond the arc, shooting 1-for-8 from range.

Jayson Tatum's attacking much more aggressively compared to Game 3 and his team-high 10 points shows that. It's been a balanced scoring attack for Boston, who are still looking for Jaylen Brown to get going in this one with just four points shooting 1-for-8 from the field.

Celtics' reserve forward Semi Ojeleye goes on a personal 7-0 run to give the Celtics their first lead of the game.

In a back-and-forth second quarter, the Celtics have tied the game at 42-42. Serge Ibaka is having a monster half for the Raptors with 11 points, five rebounds and one block in just 10 minutes off the bench. Jaylen Brown is struggling for Boston, shooting 1-for-8 from the field and 0-for-4 from 3-point land with the majority of long range attempts being ugly misses.

The Raptors got out to a quick 7-0 run to start the second quarter but the Celtics answered back with eight-straight points of their own. Toronto remains in the lead 40-35 with seven minutes left in the half.

End of first quarter: Raptors 31, Celtics 27

The 3-ball was the deciding factor of the first quarter - Toronto shot 6-for-13 from range while Boston was just 3-for-11. Kyle Lowry's 11 points lads the Raptors with Fred VanVleet chipping in six points, four rebounds and two assists. For the Celtics, Jayson Tatum's team-high six points paces the offence.

Toronto has shot nine more free throws than Boston through the first frame.

This Jayson Tatum spin move for a dunk was too sweet to not share.

Right out of the gate, Toronto has the hot hand from 3-point range. After struggling from beyond the arc for most of this series, the Raptors are 5-for-10 from beyond the arc in this first quarter. Toronto leads the Celtics 23-18 with just under three minutes remaining in the quarter.

Pascal Siakam gets a 3-pointer to go early in this one - a pleasant sign for Raptors fans. Toronto leads 17-14 early with Kyle Lowry's 11 points on six made free throws leading the way.

Pregame

The Celtics will roll out the same starting five with Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Daniel Theis.

The Raptors will start their usual five - Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam and Marc Gasol.
