Celtics fell for the second time to the Wizards in 3 days

What is going on with the Celtics lately? Without a doubt they are a great team, with stars like Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, but they have lost twice in 3 days against a Wizards team that is climbing stairs and that didn’t count with their main point guard Gilbert Arenas who was down for injuries. By the way, the Wizards is the only team that has won the Celtics 2 back-to-back games this season.

"We rushed a lot of shots and didn't have that click that we usually have," Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said.

Caron Butler scored 21 points for the Wizards, extending his streak to 41 straight free throws made. Antawn Jamison was the second biggest scorer for Washington with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

With 1:47 on the clock Jamison hitted a field goal to cut the advance of the Celtics and leave the game 79-76, then DeShawn Stevenson hitted a 3 pointer to match the game 79-79 with 1:08 remaining. The Celtics were dominant during most of the game but fell to the strength of the Wizards in the fourth as Washington went on a 26-5 run to give them the victory 88-83.

This type of games are perfect examples on why a team that seems unbeatable is really not, Boston needs to pay more attention to their game balance as they let the victory to slip them at the end, so why do you want to be dominant all the game if you gonna lose all the efforts made?

2 losses in 3 games might not be a big deal for most teams, but the Celtics are currently the best team in the NBA and to win twice to a team that is looking to surpass the 95-96 Chicago Bulls for the best record in NBA history, this was certainly an outstanding victory for Wizards.
