The Celtics got an unlikely triple-double from Al Horford in their 110-105 victory over the Heat on Monday.
Horford totalled 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in what was just the second triple-double of his 12-year career.
Boston got out to a sizable first half lead, but Miami came battling back in the fourth. The Heat's comeback was fueled by Goran Dragic's 30-point performance, but the Celtics simply had too many options, even without Jaylen Brown (back).
Miami (38-39) holds the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but the Magic are just a 1/2 game back. The scramble for a postseason appearance could get hectic as the regular season comes to a close.
Boston (46-32), the Eastern Conference's fourth seed, is even with Indiana with four games to play before the playoffs.
