NEW YORK—The Boston Celtics won the NBA draft lottery, capitalizing on a trade they made with the Brooklyn Nets four years ago. The Los Angeles Lakers were other big winners, moving up one spot to second to hold onto their pick. They would have had to trade it to Philadelphia if it fell outside the top three. 1 pick after their 25 per cent chance of winning came through Tuesday night. The 76ers will pick third, while Phoenix fell two spots and is fourth.
