LOS ANGELES: Terry Rozier and Al Horford scored 26 points each as the Boston Celtics routed the Milwaukee Bucks 112-96 in game seven to book their spot in the second round of the NBA playoffs. The Celtics’ victory in Saturday’s (Sunday in Manila) deciding game was their fourth win at the Boston Garden as the home teams won all seven games in the Eastern Conference series. Horford had 14 points and seven rebounds at halftime, while Bledsoe led the Milwaukee attack with 12 points. The Bucks narrowed the Boston lead to three points early in the third, but Boston scored 11 of the last 15 points in the quarter to seize command. “Wasn’t able to win on the road, but we pushed the series to game seven,” Antetokounmpo said.
