Celtics sit on Eastern summit

BOSTON - Isaiah Thomas was able to watch from the bench while the Celtics finished off the Milwaukee Bucks in Wednesday's NBA regular-season finale.

The Boston star got a little bit of rest - and the No 1 seed he wanted, too.

"It's very special for me," Thomas said after scoring 13 points and adding eight assists in a 112-94 victory over the resting Bucks.
