Overview
- Boston snapped a two-game skid with a 136-107 home win over Washington, led by Jaylen Brown’s 35 points in 26 minutes.
- The Celtics’ perimeter shooting rebounded to 16-for-41 from three (39%) after Monday’s 11-for-51 showing, though their season rate remains near the bottom of the league at about 31.2%.
- Role players keyed the turnaround as Josh Minott posted a career-high 21, Payton Pritchard scored 18 with a game-shifting second quarter, and Neemias Queta added 15 points and 12 rebounds.
- The NBA’s Last Two Minute report ruled the late no-call on a trip involving Brown in the Utah loss was an error, and Brown said he was not fined for criticizing officials.
- Washington’s sixth straight loss featured 19 turnovers that Boston converted into a 30-3 edge in points off giveaways, and the Celtics now head to Orlando for two road games.
