BOSTON, April 19 (UPI) -- Ronald Murray sank a jump shot as time expired Wednesday as the Detroit Pistons slipped by the Boston Celtics 91-89.

Amir Johnson had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Murray had 16 points and five assists to lead the Pistons. Jason Maxiell and Antonio McDyess both scored 11 points for Detroit, which locked up the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
