Jae Crowder was the hero for the Celtics on Tuesday night.
Prior to Tuesday night, the unpredictability of the first-round matchups in the NBA Playoffs were at an all-time high, with not one single series set in stone. Boston Celtics forward Jae Crowder apparently was tired of playing the guessing game, as he locked the Celtics into a first-round bout with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers with his game-winning jumpshot vs. the Toronto Raptors.
This is just a part of what has been an incredible turnaround for head coach Brad Stevens and the Celtics, who have gone 23-12 since February 2nd.
Boston went 2-2 against the Cavaliers this season, but their two victories came in games which LeBron, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and J.R. Smith either did not play at all, or sat the entire 4th quarter.
