Back in February, the Washington Wizards showed up wearing all black for the “funeral” game against the Celtics.
Up 3-2 in their second round series with the chance to close out the Wizards on their home floor, the Celtics returned the favor.

Well played Boston.
Of course, the question is will it be well played once both teams are on the court — the road team has struggled to score. Will Boston find a groove or will be watching a Game 7 Monday?
Boston is clearly ready for it to be over.
