Playing without the injured trio of Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Mickael Pietrus, Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley picked up the slack and led the Celtics to a 102-98 win over the Magic Wednesday night at TD Garden. The Celtics had to withstand a late Magic charge to clinch their fifth consecutive Atlantic Division crown, assuring them of no worse than a No. 4 seed in the upcoming Eastern Conference playoffs. One night after a season high 43 points in New York, Pierce finished with 29 points and a career-high 14 assists. Bradley had 23 and Bass added 21 for the Celtics.
