The Boston Celtics (27 - 36) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (45 - 19) 95 - 92 on Wednesday in Boston. The Grizzlies' Mike Conley had a chance to tie the game at the end with a 28 - foot three point jumper, but it was off and the Celtics were able to pull off the upset without their main contributor off the bench, Isaiah Thomas (back). Boston was lead by Avery Bradley, who missed the last three games with an elbow injury. Bradley had 17 points on 8 - of - 17 shooting and five rebounds in 34 minutes. Bradley's return to the starting lineup sent Jae Crowder back to the bench, and Crowder once again thrived in the role, scoring 16 points on 6 - of - 12 shooting in 28 minutes. Kelly Olynyk also contributed 15 points in 20 minutes off the bench. Tyler Zeller (12) and Brandon Bass (12) round out the Celtics players who scored in double figures. The victory pushes Boston to just one - game behind the eighth - place Hornets for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Despite his last - second miss, Conley still lead the way for Memphis in the losing effort, scoring 20 points on 9 - of - 12 shooting. Tony Allen contributed 16 points and five rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench. Marc Gasol struggled to get anything going Monday, as he scored just nine points on 4 - of - 9 shooting to go with seven rebounds and has failed to score in double figures in two of his last three games. As a team, the Grizzlies struggled to take care of the ball recording 21 turnovers to go with just 21 assists. But, despite the loss, Memphis still sits in second place in the Western Conference with a 2 - game lead over the third - place Rockets. Up next, the Grizzlies will travel to Washington Thursday to take on the Wizards, while the Celtics will stay home and go up against the Magic on Friday.
