Jae Crowder's go-ahead jumper with 0.8 seconds remaining lifted the Boston Celtics to a 95-93 win over the Toronto Raptors and helped them clinch the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference.
Kyle Lowry tied the game at 93-93 with 10.2 seconds left after driving down the lane for a left-handed layup.
Evan Turner tried to navigate down the paint at the other end, but his runner was blocked by Terrence Ross and the ball went out of bounds with 3.3 ticks on the clock.
Crowder then came off a screen along the right elbow and knocked down a fall-away jumper with a toe on the 3-point line in the right corner over Tyler Hansbrough and Lowry to put Boston in front.
Lowry's 3-pointer from the left wing at the horn was swatted by Turner.
