Celtics face Spurs in late push for No. 1 seed in East

The Boston Celtics have eight regular season games remaining, and they might need to win them all if they have hopes of entering the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Boston will play the first of those eight games Sunday when it faces a visiting the San Antonio Spurs, who long have been eliminated from playoff contention.

The Celtics (51-23) have won six of their past eight games and are chasing Milwaukee for the NBA's best record. The Bucks entered Saturday night's game at Denver with a 53-20 record and 2 1/2 games ahead of the Celtics. Five of Boston's remaining games will be played at home.
