The Celtics’ win over the Wizards on Friday night didn’t come in the prettiest fashion.
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.
Even though the Celtics’ win over the Wizards was probably closer than what many would’ve liked, Joe Mazzulla didn’t seem too concerned, comparing his team to hit a movie.
