Raptors fall to Celtics, will finish with 9th seed in East. MORE:
UpdatedBOSTON — Sam Hauser scored a career-high 26 points and the Boston Celtics cruised past the Toronto Raptors 121-102 on Friday night.
The Celtics, who secured the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs in Wednesday’s win over Toronto, played without All-Star Jaylen Brown after he accidentally cut a finger on his shooting hand on Thursday. He also will miss Sunday’s regular-season finale against Atlanta but expects to be ready to go in time for the start of the post-season.With one game still left on its schedule, Tatum believes his team is in a good head space.
Hauser’s scoring barrage was punctuated in the third quarter when Al Horford intercepted a pass, tossed ahead a bounce pass and Hauser threw down a one-handed dunk. It was one of his three dunks for the game.Tatum said Hauser's growth has put him in position to be called on in the post-season if needed.
