The Wizards dialed up the intensity for their game against the Celtics last night, wearing all black for a figurative funeral.
Boston felt the heat in its loss – no one more so than Marcus Smart, who demonstrably bickered with assistant coaches on the bench.

Washburn doesn’t reveal how he knows it was a player (or whether he’s just assuming). But you’ll be hard-pressed to convince anyone it wasn’t Smart given his public outburst.
