The Wizards and Celtics battled it out in one of the most physical playoff games in recent memory on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Washington was faced with a must-win game, and they played like it in Game 3 of the playoff series, destroying Boston, 116-89. The Wizards attacked the Celtics’ defense throughout the matchup, and also put a lot of pressure on them contesting shots on the other end of the floor as well.<\/p>\n
The physical matchup featured eight technical fouls, three ejections and 58 free-throw attempts, and it was clear that the two teams don’t like one another. Isaiah Thomas confirmed that after the game when speaking to the media.<\/p>\n
“We don’t like them, and they don’t like us,” Thomas said. “That’s just what it is.”<\/p>\n
