Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics looked forward to bouncing back after taking a loss to Philadelphia Friday night. The Celtics played the Washington Wizards, as they continued to make their stretch for the playoffs with just 18 games left in the season. With Ray Allen missing in action from his injury, Avery Bradley, who took full advantage in starting lineup led the Celtics in scoring with 23 points. In addition, Kevin Garnett had an historic day as he moved past 24,000 points as he dropped 11 today and The Truth finished with 21 points. However, the top scorers for the Wizards were Jamal Crawford with 21 points, Kevin Seraphin with 15 points and John Wall with 12 points. The Celtics took control of this game from start to finish and beat the Wizards by a dozen with the final score of 88-76. The Celtics will be on the road as they face the Bobcats tomorrow night at 7pm, Wednesday vs. Utah and Friday at Minnesota!
