The Celtics defeated the Thunder 135-100 to secure their 60th victory of the season and finalize their No. 1 seed in the East for the NBA playoffs. Boston's big three, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, combined for 74 of Boston's 135 points. With this win, Boston secures home-court advantage for the entirety of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Oklahoma City's loss pushed them back to No. 3 in the West and propelled the Minnesota Timberwolves to the No. 1 seed after their 48-point victory over the Toronto Raptors.
