The Boston Celtics defeated the Washington Wizards 110 - 102 Monday at TD Garden. The final score is n't a great indicator for how much the Celtics (45 - 26) dominated Monday's game, as the game was essentially over by the end of the third quarter when Boston held a 17 - point advantage heading into the final period. Isaiah Thomas once again led the way for the Celtics, scoring a game - high 25 points despite shooting just 2 - of - 10 from behind the arc. His partner in the backcourt Avery Bradley had a much more efficient outing, scoring 20 points on 8 - of - 16 shooting from the field and 4 - of - 8 shooting from long range. In the end, it was n't the prettiest shooting performance from Boston, as they hit just 43 percent of their shots, but their ability to get offensive rebounds helped them overcome those misses, as they grabbed 20 by the time Monday's contest was over. For the Wizards (42 - 28), they actually shot better from the field than the Celtics (43 percent) and hit the name number of free throws (20), but Boston ended up getting up eight more shots than Washington thanks to their work on the offensive glass, and that ended up being the difference Monday. It also did n't help that their starting backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal failed to get into a groove offensively, as the two shot a combined 10 - of - 25 from the field and 3 - of - 10 from behind the arc en route to scoring a combined 35 points, while they've been averaging a combined 46 points per game this season. In the end, six different Wizards players managed to score in double figures, but it just was n't enough to get a key road win.
