The Boston Celtics became the first NBA team to clinch a postseason berth, getting a season-high 31 points from Kevin Garnett on Wednesday night as they took out the Detroit Pistons 90-78. The Celtics making the playoffs was a foregone conclusion many months ago. "That's not what we want,'' Boston coach Doc Rivers said, "That's nice, but last year it would have been a parade.''
