Crowder's Shot Gives Celtics 95-93 Win Over Raptors, NBA Roundup

The Boston Celtics knew they were in the playoffs. Now they can start thinking about a matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Jae Crowder hit an off-balance fall-away shot from deep on the right wing with .8 seconds left, lifting Boston to a 95-93 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday that secured the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference for the Celtics.

Evan Turner and Avery Bradley each scored 14 points for Boston, which will face No. 2 seed Cleveland in the playoffs. Brandon Bass added 13 points and nine rebounds.

Pacers 99, Wizards 95

C.J. Miles and George Hill helped Indiana survive Part I of its playoff push Tuesday night. Now comes the harder part -- making the red-eye flight to Memphis and doing it all over again less than 24 hours later.

At least the Pacers still have a chance. Miles scored 25 points, Hill added 24 and together they spurred a 7-2 run to open the second overtime and keep Indiana's playoff hopes alive with a critical come-from-behind 99-95 victory over Washington.

Clippers 112, Suns 101

Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers did their job. Now they can sit back and wait to see what shakes out on the final day of the NBA regular season. The Clippers' star point guard scored 22 points, including a career-high six 3-pointers, to lead his team to a 112-101 win over the injury-depleted Phoenix Suns in the Clippers' final regular-season game before the NBA playoffs. Los Angeles clinched the West's No. 3 seed with the victory.
