Well, that was easy. The Celtics throttled the Wizards tonight, 111-78, and it wasn’t even that close. Boston started strong and it was evident almost immediately that Washington was not in the mood to play.
The Celtics went right to the basket. 6 of their first 9 shots came in the paint. They jumped out to a 14-6 lead and ended the quarter up 11. There was no let up in the 2nd quarter. David Lee (12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) and Isaiah Thomas (21 points) combined for 13 straight points as the C’s kept the lead in double-digits.
