BOSTON, April 11 (UPI) -- Rajon Rondo scored 16 points Friday to lead the Boston Celtics to their seventh straight home victory -- a 102-86 decision over Milwaukee.

With the Celtics coasting to the playoffs, where they will be the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, Paul Pierce added 14 points and James Posey had 13 off the bench. Boston, which had seven players in double figures, has lost just six games at home all season.

Milwaukee lost its fifth straight and has dropped nine out of 11. Michael Redd led the Bucks with 18 points.

Boston owned a 10-9 advantage when it went on a 10-2 run. The Celtics had an 18-point cushion at halftime and Milwaukee was unable to threaten during the final two quarters.

The Celtics swept the four-game season series.
