The Boston Celtics ( 37 - 42 ) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 51 - 28 ) 99 - 90 on Friday in Cleveland . With the Cavaliers solidified as the No . 2 seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs , they did not try particularly hard to win this game , starting with sitting Kyrie Irving ( hip ) to make sure he stays healthy . Regardless , the Celtics took advantage , picking up a huge victory as they fight to stay in the playoffs . Marcus Smart led the way scoring for Boston , posting 19 points on 7 - of - 10 shooting in 34 minutes . Avery Bradley was close behind , scoring 15 points ( 7 - 12 FG ) in 31 minutes . The Celtics starting frontcourt of Tyler Zeller and Brandon Bass combined to score 25 points and grab 11 rebounds . Boston 's final starter , Evan Turner , struggled shooting the ball and only scored four points , but still managed to dish out 13 assists and grab six rebounds . Isaiah Thomas , as he has done so well since joining the Celtics , provided solid production off the bench , scoring 17 points ( 4 - 12 FG , 2 - 6 3Pt ) in 23 minutes . The victory keeps Boston in the playoff chase , as they are tied with the Nets for the final playoff spot , but currently hold the tiebreaker . They are 2 games behind the Bucks for sixth place . For Cleveland this was essentially a night off , as both Lebron James and Kevin Love played less than their normal load of minutes and sat out during crunch time . James scored 14 points ( 5 - 14 FG , 0 - 5 3Pt ) and dished out seven assists in 26 minutes , while Kevin Love scored 19 ( 6 - 12 FG , 4 - 8 3Pt ) and grabbed six rebounds in 31 minutes . Timofey Mozgov played just 17 minutes , but scored 13 points , and J.R. Smith scored zero points in 18 minutes . Mike Miller was the only other Cavalier player to score in double figures with 11 . Up next , these teams will both head to Boston on Sunday for a rematch .
