What time, channel is Washington Wizards vs. Boston Celtics, Game 1?

Didn’t register their first rebound of the game until the 5:57 mark.Kelly Olynyk has scored in double figures in three of his last four games, after doing so just twice in his first 11 career playoff games.

But if it’s value you seek, the chorus of critics has to have taken a U-turn in these playoffs that continued with yesterday’s 123-111 Game 1 victory over Washington. The Celtics were able to pull it out despite that late push, closing out the game on 24-16 in the final 7:08.

In the second quarter, Washington’s Markieff Morris injured his left ankle when he made a jump shot but landed on Horford’s foot.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens knows just how much of an impact Horford has on the team, and he’s known it since he first arrived in Boston.

Boston chose to start the game using a small lineup.

Joe Ingles had 12 points, Rodney Hood scored 11 and Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw had 10 each for Utah. The Celtics are better defensively than the Wizards and are getting more production across the board offensively. They would end the first quarter trailing 38-24. Instead, it was the plain old three pointer.

Then, he helped pick up the Celtics after they spotted the Wizards the first 16 points of the game before rallying to maintain home-court advantage heading into Tuesday’s Game 2. Each team won it’s opening round series in six games, finishing on Friday evening, so neither team has had extended rest.

He intends to play in Game 2.

In Atlanta, guards John Wall and Bradley Beal combined for 73 points and the Wizards easily defeated the Hawks to also clinch their East series four games to two. “Anything can happen as long as we continue to stay positive and play as hard as we can”.

The Celtics will not have an answer for Wall defensively in this series because of Avery Bradley being forced to defend Beal. The Wizards made some bad plays, which resulted in quite a few turnovers. The scrappy guard was only out for a minute before re-entering the game.

In a mid-January game, Celtics forward Jae Crowder drew a technical for jawing with the Washington bench.

The Celtics big man stuffed the stat sheet Sunday afternoon as the teams opened their second-round National Basketball Association playoff series at TD Garden.

– The Wizards had 18 second chance points in the first half, but the Celtics had 16 in the second half. The Boston Celtics are shooting 33.9 percent from beyond the arc and 75.9 percent from the free throw line.

-Bogdanovic was exploited by the Celtics, who attacked in him every matchup which is why he picked up three fouls in his first seven minutes on the floor. Threes are a huge part of their game, and the difference between winning and losing this series might be how they fare from downtown.

The Wizards also had a tough time responding after Stevens started Marcus Smart in place of Gerald Green in the third quarter. Boston outscored Washington, 36-16, to finish the third, leading 95-80. The Celtics turned on the jets in the third quarter as they went on a three point barrage while the Wizards were turning the ball over like insane.
