The Celtics bounced back from back-to-back losses with a win on Saturday over the Washington Wizards. Though the game got closer than many would've expected in the final frame, it was never truly in doubt as the Cs coasted to a 111-100 victory.
Here's what stood out:
Rebounding dominance
The last time the Wizards visited TD Garden on Nov. 6, they squared off against a much different Celtics team. At the time, Boston was 29th in defensive rebounding percentage and clearly suffered from their inability to close out stops on the glass.
Despite a 30-point blowout win over Washington, the Celtics and Wizards ended even on the boards with 40 rebounds apiece.
