The Washington Wizards (14 - 6) defeated the Boston Celtics (7 - 12) 133 - 132 on Monday at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. The Wizards had a comfortable lead going into the fourth quarter of this game, but were out - scored 34 - 18 in the fourth quarter, leading to not one, but two overtime periods. The Wizards were able to get a running layup from John Wall with just over 40 seconds left, who then hit his free throw to convert on the three - point play after being fouled by Evan Turner on the attempt. Turner then had a shot to win the game with a second left in the game, but missed, giving the Wizards their fourteenth victory of the season. The Wizards had all five of their starters score at least 14 points. Paul Pierce led all scorers as he had an outstanding game shooting, going 9 - for - 12 from the field and 4 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 28 points. He also was a perfect 6 - for - 6 from the line pushing him to a season - high in points. John Wall really stuffed the stat sheet as well. He scored 26 points (10 - 17 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 8 FT) and recorded a wopping 17 assists, leading to his fourth double - double in the last five games. He did have a season - high of nine turnovers, so he'll look to trim those numbers down. Marcin Gortat had a double - double of his own, scoring 21 points and pulling in 12 rebounds. He's now averaging 14 points and nine rebounds on the year. The other two starters, Kris Humphries and Bradley Beal had 17 and 14 points respectively. Jeff Green led the Celtics with 28 points (8 - 18 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 11 - 11 FT), but the bench was just as huge in this one, with four players scoring at least 18 points. Rookie Marcus Smart had easily his best game of his career, as he scored 23 points (7 - 14 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT), while adding five assists. It was the most minutes he's played all season, and he cashed in on the extra playing time. Brandon Bass and Kelly Olynyk had 19 points each, with Bass chipping in nine rebounds, while Olynyk grabbed 11. Despite missing the game winner, Evan Turner was also successful off the bench, scoring 18 points and contributing eight assists and six rebounds. The bench had 82 of the 132 total points for the Celtics. The Wizards' next game will be on the road against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, while the Celtics will travel to Charlotte to play the Hornets on Wednesday as well.
