Xavier Tillman’s pull-up jumper with 7.4 seconds left lifted the Boston Celtics to a 101-100 win over the visiting Sacramento Kings on Friday night.

The Celtics (61–16) led by as many as 19 in the fourth quarter, but a 16–1 run the opposite way—including two threes by De'Aaron Fox and another by Harrison Barnes—made it interesting down the stretch.
