The Boston Celtics defeated the Milwaukee Bucks , 112 - 94 , at TD Garden on Wednesday night . The mission Wednesday night for the Celtics ( 53 - 29 ) could n't have been any clearer : win and there was a high probability that the East 's top seed was theirs , considering the Cleveland Cavaliers were resting their Big Three against the Toronto Raptors . That made Boston 's first - quarter performance all the more maddening , as they fell behind 36 - 25 in the first 12 minutes despite the Bucks ( 42 - 40 ) resting Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton , among others . The Celtics righted the ship after that point , however , taking a 57 - 56 lead into halftime . After a tightly - contested third quarter , Boston pulled away in the fourth by doubling up their visitors , 32 - 16 . They featured a balanced attack that overcame a poor shooting night from Isaiah Thomas , as six players managed double - digit scoring . Michael Beasley and Spencer Hawes co - led the Bucks with 15 - point efforts from the starting five and bench , respectively . Beasley added five rebounds , two assists , three steals and two blocks , while Hawes contributed five rebounds and two assists . Rashad Vaughn pitched in with 14 points , four assists , three rebounds , two steals and one block . Malcolm Brogdon posted 11 points , five boards , three assists , one steal and one block . Greg Monroe was productive as a reserve as well with 10 points , six rebounds and four assists , while Thon Maker totaled nine points , six boards , three assists and three blocks . Gerald Green actually paced the Celtics with 18 points , six rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes off the bench . Amir Johnson and Jae Crowder supplied matching 16 - point efforts , with the former adding five rebounds , one assist , one steal and one block , and the latter registering five boards , two assists and three steals . Thomas managed 13 points , eight assists , four rebounds , one steal and one block but only shot 3 - for - 11 from the field . Al Horford collected 12 points , six rebounds , two assists and two steals . Jaylen Brown amassed 10 points , four rebounds , one assist and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench . With Wednesday 's win , the Celtics claimed the season series , 2 - 1 . Boston will enter the postseason as the top dog in the East , while the Bucks will be the No . 6 seed .
