The Boston Celtics didn't play Thursday night, but the team still clinched its spot in the NBA Playoffs.
Jayson Tatum has been putting up some incredible numbers this season. He's racking up points, rebounds, assists -- all the good stuff -- for the Boston Celtics. Unfortunately, he's also been racking up technical fouls, and is toeing the line of being slapped with a one-game suspension.
The Celtics had a chance to clinch a real playoff spot and retake possession of first place in the East on Wednesday night. Instead, they got a bit of a wakeup call courtesy of the Miami Heat.

There is now a sliver of hope that Robert Williams may be able to join the Celtics during the postseason.

It seems like the only thing that can slow the Celtics down right now is an injury to one of the team's core players. And that is exactly what Boston will be dealing with going forward, as the injury update on center Robert Williams is the worst possible news for the Celtics.
Do the Celtics keep on demoralizing the rest of the NBA, or do they give their stars the occasional rest in preparation for the postseason? It's a tightrope that head coach Ime Udoka will get to balance on for the next two weeks, though he may not have much of a decision on Monday night.
The Celtics cruised past the Minnesota Timberwolves 134-112 and climbed to the top of the Eastern Conference Sunday.
The reunion between KG and Ray Allen ultimately led to Allen standing in a courtroom, receiving a stern talking-to from a Miami judge.
