Furthermore, the Brooklyn Nets were unsuccessful in their attempt to defeat the Toronto Raptors by a margin of fewer than fifteen points, and Boston emerged victorious with a score of 115-103 thanks to the Nets’ tight margin of victory.
Joe Mazzulla put his best foot forward in the end.

A 115-103 victory for the Nets ensured that the Celtics would win Group C.
