Boston is evolving

after a break, Chris Middleton manages to bring his team back to within ten points thanks to a 3+1, but the Wizards give up right after that. Brian Keefe’s men saw their lateness increase and allowed Boston to take a 21-point lead after an alley-oop between Derrick White and Josh Minott (104-83). Payton Pritchard (20 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists) is responsible for ending this third act with a “floater” (109-86).

In the last twelve minutes, teammates a Jayson Tatum all smiles on the bench scored 37 points to just 15 for the Wizards to win 146-101 for their third straight win.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

Threes pass for Boston. After two convincing successes against the Cavaliers and the Knicks, Boston had a quieter night against Washington. If the skill wasn’t there in the first quarter, Joe Mazzula’s men quickly adjusted their sights to go ahead with the score. If Derrick White was the top scorer with 30 points, he wasn’t the only one to shine. From the bench, the Josh Minot – Hugo Gonzalez duo was extremely effective, finishing the game with 11 points for the former and 14 for the latter.

“Garbage Man” was perfect. Decisive at the end of the match against the KnicksJordan Walsh was important this time in the second quarter. The winger scored 11 of his 22 points in this second act, but above all, he didn’t miss a single shot all night, finishing the game with 8/8. However, the 21-year-old was not only good on offense, he also contributed on defense with two steals, and showed himself in rebounds with his seven catches.

An evening to forget for Washington. If the Wizards tried to hang on, they made a real splash in the second half where they were weighed down by numerous absences. Trailing by only seven points at halftime, Washington conceded as many as 80 points in the second half and another tough loss, further solidifying their status. the worst defense in the league.
