Celtics mystify Wizards, win 130-104 on the road
The Boston Celtics started their road tilt with the Washington Wizards down Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, and finished the contest without Sam Hauser as well. And it after Hauser threatened Marcus Smart’s single-game 3-point shot record on his way to tying teammate Jayson Tatum for a game-high 30 points in Boston’s 130-104 blowout win. The Virginia alum also put up 6 rebounds, and Tatum as many boards and assists, with three other players scoring in double figures, oddly with the same number of points. Al Horford added 14 points, Luke Kornet 14 points, and 6 rebounds, and Payton Pritchard 14 points, 5 boards, and 13 assists for his first double-double of 2023-24. With the win, the Celtics improve to 53-14 on the season, and now have a 9.5 game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks in the East, and a 6-game lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in the NBA.
