For 3 and a half quarters, Sunday’s Celtics-Wizards game had the look and feel of the game Boston lost to the Celtics last week. Then the Celtics somehow turned a 13 point deficit (with just 6 minutes left) into a win. CelticsBlog didn’t like how it started but they liked how it all ended.

We let them dominate the pace of the game for most of the game. We can’t do that. Our transition D isn’t good enough to keep up with a younger team. We have to slow teams down and methodically pick them apart. Run when there’s an opportunity, but not because the other team is dictating the pace.
The Wizards showed a lot of heart, until they faced a charging rhino of a Celtics team. Then they wilted. That’s just inexperience. That won’t happen against better teams. But I’ll still take it.
