Celtics rack up 33 assists, cruise past Wizards 124-90
Essentially locked into the No. 2 seed, and facing a far-inferior opponent, the Celtics could have easily fallen for the trap Sunday night and stooped to the lowly Wizards’ level.
Instead, they did what they do best, playing crisp and purposeful basketball en route to a resounding 124-90 triumph at TD Garden.
“It was fun. We were just flying around,” Celtics guard Derrick White said. “There are so many different ways for us to attack teams. We’re just trying to create an advantage and keeping that advantage.”
With Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, the Celtics (58-20) had no trouble breezing past a Wizards (17-61) team that put up about as much resistance as one might expect.
