From NBA league pass:
Boston Celtics
The Celtics continued their push for home court in the first round after holding off a late surge from the Hawks, picking up a 129-120 victory. All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving led the team in points (30), rebounds (11) and assists (9) as Boston won its fifth game in the last six outings.
Brad Stevens’ group is currently one game behind the persevering Pacers for fourth in the East, with both squads facing off two more times before the season ends. Those contests, which could possibly determine who attains home court, are critical as the season series is currently split 1-1.
Biggest game this week: @ Philadelphia (Wednesday, 8 ET, ESPN)
Boston trails the 76ers by a half game and will look to make a statement and go for the season sweep.
Next five games: Denver, @ Philadelphia, @ Charlotte, San Antonio, @ Cleveland
