In the Semifinals, the Celtics lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in five games.

Just days before the second round matchup with the Bucks, Celtics legend John Havlicek, died on Thursday, April 25 at the age of 79. The team wore a black band with a white #17 (in honor of Havilcek) for Game 1 of the semifinal series with the Bucks which the Celtics won.
