The Wizards entered tonight’s game knowing the Celtics’ defensive switching would present challenges. And the Wizards’ offense was not good (39% on FGs, 22% on 3PAs). But the Wizards offense struggled in part because the Wizards took the ball out of their own net so often. – 8:17 PM

Final: Celtics 112, Wizards 94.
Boston made 21 of its 47 3-point attempts, and from Washington’s perspective, far too many of those looks were open shots or shots contested too late. There’s no other way to say it: It was an awful defensive performance, especially in the 1st Q. – 8:13 PM

Jaylen Brown (12 points) is being super-aggressive offensively. The #Celtics are looking to see that kind of effort, energy and focus on defense from him and others, which we all know hasn’t been the case consistently this season for the Green Team. – 6:24 PM

The points have come much easier than expected thus far for the #Celtics, facing a #Wizards defense that’s ranked eighth in scoring defense (110 ppg) in this still-young NBA season. – 6:20 PM

The Wizards will face a difficult test tonight in Boston. Although Tatum and Brown’s offense will be difficult to contain, I think the Wizards’ toughest challenge will be dealing with the Celtics’ defensive switching. Can the Wizards prevent their offense from becoming stagnant? – 12:50 PM
