The Boston Celtics center had a career-night working, but he adjusted and played great instead of chasing a career-high.

We expect a Celtics win, but only if Boston respects what might be a wounded bear of an opponent – dangerous if your guard is down.

Celtics announcers trolled the Wizards’ weak defense, referencing their recent poor night against Adebayo's domination.

The Celtics snapped their two-game losing streak on Saturday night with a 100-89 win over the Washington Wizards at TD Garden. Boston broke open a tight game early with a dominant second quarter, outscoring the Wizards by 35-14 in the period to quickly turn the game into a rout for the entire second half against a tanking Wizards squad.

The Washington Wizards traveled to Boston to face the Celtics on Saturday in the final game of a three-game road trip. Behind a sluggish second quarter and poor interior defense, the Wizards fell, 111-100.

On a roster filled with offensive assets, center Neemias Queta’s job tends to be simple. He needs to set solid screens, and when there is a seam to roll to the rim, he should take it and cash in a layup.

The Boston Celtics notched their 11th straight win against the Washington Wizards, setting a franchise record.

Tatum got his second double-double since making his season debut on March 6. Jaylen Brown added 16 points to help the Celtics snap a two-game skid. Tristan Vukcevic scored 22 points to lead the Wizards. Washington 7-footer Alex Sarr didn’t score until the 4:38 mark of the second quarter.

The Celtics are inching back to full health as some of their guys deal with nagging things and Jayson Tatum continues his Achilles rehab.

The Wizards, who are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, come to town on a 10-game losing streak.
