WOW what a game from the Cetics. The Celtics beat the Wizards 144-102 and this is a game that truly accentuates how great our offense is capable of being even despite Timelord being out. JB led the way with his 9th straight game over 25pts. He ended with 32pts, 7reb, and 5ast on just 17 shots and had everything going today. This was another incredibly impressive game as far as ball movement goes. We saw both Tatum and Smart with 7 assists, Al with 6 and JB with 5. Both of the Jays have stepped up their game in a major way as far as facilitating goes and it makes this team soo hard to beat. Defensively, we did a much better job of switching tonight and didn't drop into coverage nearly as much although it still happened at times. 

The real story of the night in my eyes though is the bench. Pritchard, White and Grant were the 3 primary bench players outside of garbage time and all 3 of them played at an exceptionally high level. Grant contributed 16pts on 4-5 from 3 so he broke out of his slump which is great. White contributed 17pts 5reb and 3ast on 3-3 from 3. Derrick White shot just 27% from 3 in his first 27 games as a Celtic but is shooting 43% from 3 in his last 5. Obviously it is a small sample size but it is great to see the shot falling. Pritchard also contributed 14pts on 4-7 from deep. All in all, the bench scored 67 points and was super active in this one. Nesmith, although he only played 8 garbage time minutes, did score 11pts on 3-4 from deep and was very impressive. You love to see these types of contributions from the bench!
