Celtics Defeat Wizards in Epic Game 7

The Celtics were able to defeat the Washington Wizards 115-105 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The big takeaway from the game was the heroic performance of Kelly Olynyk, who finished with 26 points (matching his season high), on 10-14 shooting from the field in 28 minutes. Olynyk hit clutch shot after clutch shot towards the end of the 3rd quarter and into the 4th quarter. He showed up in an immense way when the bright lights were on.

Olynyk was part of the overarching theme in Game 7, which turned out to be the huge disparity in bench points.
