Jeff Green scored 25 points and Marcus Thornton added 21, leading the Celtics to a 101 - 93 victory over the Wizards in Boston on Sunday. In a game in which Boston nearly blew a 25 - point second - half lead, Rajon Rondo recorded a triple - double (13 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists) as the Celtics won their third straight game. Rasual Butler paced Washington with 22 points and four rebounds, while John Wall had 17 points and 14 assists. Bradley Beal, who shot just 4 - of - 18 from the floor, finished with 10 points and Paul Pierce added 16 in his first game in Boston as a member of the Wizards. Washington shot a paltry 37 percent from the floor but converted 11 - of - 27 three - point attempts and won the rebounding battle 52 - 49. The Wizards turned the ball over 19 times, six of which were charged to Wall. Boston, which led by 17 entering the final period, allowed the Wizards to creep back into the game, and a Butler three - pointer with just under three minutes remaining sliced the lead to just one. After a pair of Tyler Zeller free throws, Wall responded with a lay - in on the other end, but Avery Bradley responded with a corner three - pointer to put Boston up by four. On the ensuing Washington possession, Wall turned the ball over and Boston was able to salt the game away at the free throw line. The teams will head south to the nation's capital for a rematch Monday night.
