With first place in reach, the Boston Celtics defeat the Miami Heat 112-108

The Boston Celtics came into Sunday's game against the Miami Heat looking to try and move up in the standings. Cleveland left the door open for the C's to potentially tie them for the best overall record in the East. With that in mind, Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside won't make that task any easier on coach Brad Stevens. As the Heat are trying to lock up a playoff seeding for themselves.

Avery Bradley, who spent Friday night in the hospital, returns for the Celtics tonight against Miami.

The starting unit for the Celtics came out a bit slow, struggling to score early on.
