Behind another standout performance from Ish Smith, the Wizards (12-24) topped the Boston Celtics (25-9) 99-94 Monday night at Capital One Arena. Washington, playing without Bradley Beal, has now won two straight games, each against teams ranking in the top five in the league standings. Smith, who scored a career-high 32 points against Denver on Saturday night, led the Wizards with 27 points on 12-18 (.667) shooting.
The Wizards led by as many as 11 early in the third quarter, but a Jayson Tatum-led Celtics run cut the lead to two with 4:30 left in the frame.
