The Wizards went into last night’s game outmatched by the defending champion Boston Celtics, even though the Celtics were missing their starting center, and his backup. They played hard, though not well, and Boston played maybe their worst game of the season, and the Celtics still left town with a 12-point win.
Both teams played hard?
The esthetics of this one were not beautiful. The teams combined to shoot 18-74 on threes — 24.3%. This wasn’t a case of one team shooting almost decent, and the other laying bricks. Washington was 7-28 (25.0%) from three.
