Saturday's NBA roundup: Celtics upend Raptors

The C's will head back on the road for a back-to-back set that will start in Milwaukee against the Bucks and finish in Toronto for another showdown against the Raptors.

He has proven himself to be one of Boston's more talented players who also provides a high level of toughness, mentally and physically. Horford's free throw put Boston up 105-97 with 2:43 on the clock and the Celtics forced Toronto's 14th turnover of the game. If Toronto goes up by another game with six remaining, the Celtics are probably finished. "We just didn't figure it out quick enough". Given the situation of the season and nearly nothing to gain the the standings, the Celtics would not put Morris back out there if there is any risk that he might be in a worse situation for the playoffs, because that can be the only priority. Another win on Wednesday, and they would be officially nipping at Toronto's heels.

"I just think as he gets more experience, he's getting better", Stevens said. "We don't talk about it". "Just being young, everybody wants to be in the position to play a lot of minutes, and be looked at as one of the leaders on the team, and lead them to victory".

But after winning the next game - a game against the team now just two above them in the standings - even Celtics players acknowledged the importance of the next week.

"We're going to have to do that because of our available bodies, we're going to approach each game the exact same way, but we're inevitably going to have to do that for the next seven games, regardless", Stevens said. "Every win is a big win, especially right now". They're not going to knock us out of the playoffs or anything.

Terry Rozier drove to the basket in the fourth quarter and for a moment, Scary Terry had us all freaking out when he didn't bounce back up immediately after referees whistled a foul on DeMar DeRozan.

Dalit allegedly killed for riding a horse
The police have registered a case of murder against Natubha Darbar from Timbi village along with two others. Pradeep's body has been shifted to Bhavnagar Civil Hospital for post-mortem, the police added.

"We just go out there and we just play".

If the Celtics lose that meeting, they can virtually forget the No. 1 seed.

The biggest statement to come out of Boston on Saturday night would be that a possible National Basketball Association playoff series between the Celtics and Toronto Raptors has the potential to be truly delightful.

The Celtics, of course, can't control that, so don't expect them to try.

"Whatever they can do, we can do", Morris said. "I think [fans are] just starting to love me more".

"It's pretty obvious (Toronto) is number one and we're number two", Rozier told reporters after Saturday's win. Each game is different. "We still have the playoffs to come, but our goal is to win the conference, get home court".
