Boston defeated the team with the league’s second-worst record by only four points, 131-127, getting outscored in three quarters as it allowed 36 fastbreak points. The Celtics gave up 20 3-pointers in the win as the Wizards also scored 42 fourth-quarter points to keep it close after Boston took a double-digit lead going into the final frame.
