The Washington Wizards were dealt a stern reminder Monday on how wide the gap is between their team and the Eastern Conference’s elite. The Wiz were manhandled by the Boston Celtics in a 126-107 affair at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
2023 lottery pick Bilal Coulibaly got the first start of fledgling NBA career. However, B Cool and the Wizards did not have an ideal start to the contest. The Celtics raced out to a 17-5 lead in the first five minutes, as Coulibaly missed his first three shot attempts.
Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones were the lone Wizards with more than two field goals in the quarter.
