Celtics clinch playoff spot with win over Heat

The Boston Celtics secured a playoff spot with a 103-91 win over the Miami Heat, despite missing two starters. Jrue Holiday led the team with 25 points, while Jayson Tatum added 28 points. The Celtics' victory, combined with Atlanta's loss, extends their playoff appearance streak to 11 seasons. They are likely to enter the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
