The Boston Celtics were once 14 games under .500.
But after beating the Toronto Raptors tonight, they are now the number seventh seed in the East and will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round.

— Sean Grande (@SeanGrandePBP) April 15, 2015Boston can thank Jae Crowder for punching their postseason ticket as he hit an impressive game-winner jumper over two defenders in the closing seconds. Another brilliant after timeout out-of-bounds play by Brad Stevens.
Stevens on Crowder's shot: "Knew they'd be tight on Isaiah, Evan had just hit a shot. We had a couple of options, Crowder was 1 of them."
— Boston Celtics (@celtics) April 15, 2015Stevens and the Celtics are looking forward to their matchup against LeBron James and the Cavs.
Stevens on Cavs: "To have a chance to compete vs. the best in the league, it's a great opportunity. A huge mountain, but a big opportunity."
— Ben Rohrbach (@brohrbach) April 15, 2015Amazingly, this is the first set playoff series in the league but that will all change after tomorrow night.
