That was a superb first half for the Wizards in Boston. Playing without a center and facing the NBA’s best team, the Wizards lead the Celtics 71-64 at halftime. – 8:37 PM

So rare to see Porzingis, who’s been shooting around 70% from short-mid range this year, miss one inside. Even with guys right under him he’s hit with regularity. They’re like free throws. – 8:29 PM

They took a point off the board for Washington, so one of their 3-pointers was actually a 2. It’s 50-49 Boston – 8:22 PM

Look at Corey Kispert. Steals a pass from Brown and pulls right up for three in transition. #Celtics started the 2nd on a 12-4 run to take the lead, but are slipping up again and it’s tied 50-50. #Wizards ahead 6-4 in 3PT, 20-17 in att. – 8:22 PM

The numbers we just referenced on Celtics Tonight…
The Wizards have just gotten just 45.4% of available rebounds this year. That matches the 2009-10 Warriors as the worst rebounding team in NBA play-by-play era (1996-2024). – 7:23 PM
