Three thoughts on the Wizards’ 121-102 demolition of the Celtics in Game 4 …
In this particular debacle for the Celtics, the first quarter showed up disguised as the third quarter.
For the first time in the series, the Celtics didn’t let the Wizards get out to a large early lead in Game 4, even building a 30-20 lead early in the second quarter when Isaiah Thomas hit his fourth 3-pointer (“Ohhh, Isaiah Thomas is lethal!,’’ hollered TNT play-by-play voice Ian Eagle.)
There was no early 16-0 deficit (like in Game 1), no 22-0 first-quarter Washington run (like in Game 3).
