Washington, D.C. – As the night fell on Thursday, December 4, 2025, the Boston Celtics showed up and showed out against the lowly Washington Wizards, winning by a lopsided score of 146-101. If you think your last family gathering was awkward, try watching the Wizards attempt to keep up with the Celtics. It was a total domination, like when your padi decides to steal the last sip of palm wine!
With Jaylen Brown out due to illness, it was Derrick White who stepped into the spotlight, scoring 30 points, grabbing nine assists, and snatching seven rebounds. The type of performance that makes you wonder if he had caffeine or was just really excited about the free food after the game. Jordan Walsh also had a career night with 22 points, proving to be a reliable option when the team needed it. The kid was shooting like he was trying to impress his crush!
Seven Celtics players ended up scoring in double figures. You know what that means? A party! Every time you blinked, someone else was racking up points – it was like an all-you-can-eat buffet, and they definitely weren’t leaving any plate behind.
The first quarter started with the Celtics asserting their dominance early, going on a scoring spree while the Wizards were still figuring out their game shoes. By the time the first quarter clock hit zero, the Celtics were ahead, leaving fans wondering if they should have brought popcorn for this one-sided affair.
Even when the Wizards would manage to score, it felt like watching your younger sibling trying to beat you at a video game: comical but mostly futile. They had their moments, but the Celtics were just too much to handle. When the Celtics’ bench players started putting up points, it was the sign that coach was just having fun. Who knew basketball could be this entertaining?
The Celtics’ offensive rhythm was so good, even the Wizards’ defense was doing the cha-cha instead of guarding. They definitely looked lost out there, like when you walk into a room and forget why you entered in the first place. And just like that, the Celtics marched on to their third straight victory.
Ultimately, this match was another display of how a well-coached team, particularly the Celtics, can shine even when a star player isn’t on the court. That’s teamwork! What is a team game if not watching your mates throw down, while you simply sip and cheer from the sidelines? And for Boston fans, this was just another Tuesday!
