The Boston Celtics (31 - 39) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (29 - 40) 110 - 91 on Monday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Celtics got a big win Monday, as they jumped the Charlotte Hornets for the eighth and final projected playoff seed in the Eastern Conference standings. They now sit tied with the Hornets, but own the tiebreaker, while also trailing the Miami Heat by just a game and a half. The Nets, on the other hand, are still in the thick of things as well, considering they're only a game and a half behind the Celtics for that final spot. It's a tight race for those final two projected playoff spots, with the Heat, Celtics, Hornets, Pacers and Nets all within three games of each other. The Celtics were the superior shooters in this game, going 51 percent from the floor and 27 percent from the three - point line, while the Nets went just 36 percent from the field and an embarrassing six percent from beyond the arc. The win was a true team effort for the Celtics though, with six players reaching double figures. Avery Bradley led the way, finishing with a team - high of 20 points (8 - 16 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), to go along with seven rebounds in 32 minutes. After shooting just 30 percent (3 - 10 FG) from the field during Sunday's matchup with the Pistons, it was a nice bounce - back game for Bradley. Evan Turner came up with a surprise triple - double, finishing with 19 points (9 - 13 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT), 10 rebounds and 12 assists. It was his third straight impressive game, averaging 20 points, 6 rebounds and eight assists during that span. Coming just shy of double - double, Tyler Zeller posted 18 points (9 - 13 FG) and seven rebounds in 30 minutes. The Celtics also had a strong bench showing with Kelly Olynyk recording an efficient 18 points (7 - 12 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and five rebounds in just 17 minutes, while Jonas Jerebko added 10 points (5 - 12 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt) and six rebounds of his own. The Nets received nearly all of their production from center Brook Lopez, who went off for a game - high of 31 points (12 - 19 FG, 7 - 7 FT), to go along with four rebounds over 35 minutes. He's been an absolute beast for the Nets over his last three games and has averaged 30 points and 9 rebounds during that span. Deron Williams nearly matched Turner with a triple - double of his own, posting 10 points (2 - 6 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT), nine rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes. He's now pushed his season averages to 13 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists per game on the year. The only other Net in double figures was Thaddeus Young, who finished with 12 points (5 - 12 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT) and nine rebounds. The Celtics' next game will be at home against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, while the Nets will travel to Charlotte to play the Hornets on Wednesday.
