This game, and I mean this unironically, was one of the most impressive wins for the Celtics through the first quarter of their season -- mind you, they were coming off of a 123-117 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Boston dominated Thursday’s matchup with the Washington Wizards, coasting to a 146-101 win.
There’s been a lot of discourse about the squad’s potential and how much Jaylen Brown’s health factors into it -- rightfully so.
Brown’s been superhuman so far this season with his uptick in scoring, and has felt essential to the team’s 12-9 start.
