The Celtics shouldn't play too sleepily given their momentum heading into the playoffs, though it may be hard to create motivation in such a context.

The Utah Jazz couldn't quite keep the pace against a Boston team that was too deep, too talented, and too experienced in the art of winning basketball games in the modern NBA. The visiting Jazz fell in Boston by a final score of 114-108 on Monday night.

Despite being shorthanded, on the second night of a back-to-back, and down 21 heading into the fourth quarter, the Jazz mounted a furious comeback attempt to tie Monday’s game against the Boston Celtics with three minutes left on the clock.
