WASHINGTON WIZARDS-BOSTON CELTICS 96-108
Similar trend to the Golden State match also for Boston, which again wins 108-96 on the Washington court. The hosts try to start well, even reaching an 11-point lead during the second period. Poole and Kuzma try to push the Wizards, who are up by two points at halftime, at 51-49. After the long break the green and whites put their foot on the accelerator, first reaching +3 with a quarter to go and then shelving the matter in the final period: 33 points scored and only 24 conceded, with Jaylen Brown the absolute protagonist with his 31 total points. The Celtics win and move closer to first-place Cleveland in the East, where Washington is last with twelve knockouts.
