Regular Season Round 56: Washington W. - Boston C. 101-88

Date: December 27, 2014
Forward Kris Humphries scored 18 points, forward Paul Pierce had 17 points in 18 minutes against his former team and the Washington Wizards demolished the Boston Celtics 101-88 on Saturday night. No nail-biting this time against the Celtics as the Wizards (21-8) never trailed, opening a 15-2 lead before four minutes elapsed and were up by at least 17 points after each of the first three quarters. Guard John Wall, coming off a dazzling Christmas Day performance in Washington's 102-91 victory over the New York Knicks, had 12 points, including an electric 360 degree layup. The third and final meeting of the season between Washington and Boston came just shy of three weeks after the teams split a frantic back-to-back series. The Wizards blew a 23-point lead before winning 133-132 in double overtime one day after a comeback fell short in a 101-93 loss in Boston on Dec. 7. Forward Jeff Green scored 23 points and forward Jared Sullinger had 12 for the Celtics (10-18). Boston's other three starters -- center Tyler Zeller and guards Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley -- combined for seven points on 2-of-12 shooting from the field. Forward Kelly Olynyk added 15 points. The Wizards snapped a two-game home losing streak but improved to 14-4 overall. They led by as many as 24 points and never let the second-half margin dip below 15 points until the final 90 seconds. Humphries, who spent last season with Boston, sank 9 of 14 shots from the field while coming off the bench. He had nine rebounds and helped Washington outrebound Boston 48-36. The two former Celtics outscored the current Celtics 19-12 in the first quarter. Pierce had 11 points on 4-of-4 of shooting from the field, including two 3-pointers. Humphries entered midway through the quarter and had eight points during the next three minutes. Boston traveled to Washington after Friday's 109-107 loss at the Brooklyn Nets. Their offensive never arrived. The Celtics missed 12 of 16 shots from the field and trailed 30-12 after the first quarter. Courtesy of: kspr.com
