Boston however finished strongly with Marcus Smart leading the fightback to set up the Celtics win. The Celtics join the Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers as teams who have confirmed their place in the playoffs. Celtics coach Brad Stevens was relieved to see his team dig in for the victory after blowing their fourth quarter lead. "We probably needed it," Stevens said. We've got to get better in the middle of quarters and at the end of quarters but we probably needed that tonight.
