Boston Celtics Triumph in Thrilling NBA Cup Clash Against Washington Wizards
The Boston Celtics secured a hard-fought victory against the Washington Wizards, winning 108-96 in the NBA Cup matchup on November 22, 2024. This victory marked Boston’s second win in the NBA Cup group play, improving their record to 2-1 in the tournament and 13-3 overall this season.
Jaylen Brown was the standout performer, scoring a game-high 31 points along with 11 rebounds and five assists. Despite a challenging night for fellow superstar Jayson Tatum, who managed only 16 points on 6-of-19 shooting, the Celtics managed to overcome their worst offensive performance of the season, highlighted by a dismal 11-of-46 from three-point range.
The game was tightly contested, with 12 lead changes and Boston trailing by as many as 11 points. In the end, the Celtics capitalized on key moments, with Brown’s final-minute shot sealing the win. The victory also boosted Boston’s point differential to +14, placing them second in East Group C standings behind the Atlanta Hawks.
Looking forward, the Celtics will face the Minnesota Timberwolves next at TD Garden on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the Wizards continue to struggle, now with a 2-12 record after their ninth consecutive loss.
This matchup not only highlighted Boston’s resilience but also emphasized the urgency for Washington to rebound as they face a tumultuous season ahead.
