The Boston Celtics are making some strategic decisions during the last week of the regular season. After sitting Jaylen Brown and Robert Williams III in Tuesday night’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart found their way to the bench for Wednesday’s battle with the potential playoff opponent Toronto Raptors. Though the game was close throughout, the shorthanded Celtics made plays when the needed to, walking away with a 97-93 win and locking themselves in as the second seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
The guard rotation ruled the night for the Celtics this evening.
