Boston also won Game 5 of their 2017 first round series with the Chicago Bulls 108-97 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
Guards Avery Bradley and Isaiah Thomas each scored 24 points to lead the Celtics — a playoff career-high for Bradley — and big man Al Horford chipped in 21 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds.
“Everyone knows he’s a good defender. Tonight, he got his offensive game going,” Chicago guard Dwyane Wade said via the Associated Press. “You expect him to do what he does defensively, but we gave up 24 points to him tonight. He hurt us offensively tonight more than anything.”
