BOSTON >> Playing in the Garden has brought out the Boston Celtics’ best basketball this postseason.
Wednesday night it was home to one of the best nights of Avery Bradley’s career.
Bradley scored a playoff career-high 29 points, and the Celtics beat the Washington Wizards 123-101 to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
After being thoroughly picked apart in losses at Washington in Games 3 and 4, Boston shared the ball in Game 5, and again resembled the team that entered the game having won seven straight and 11 of 13 in the Garden against Washington.
