The Boston Celtics defeated the Washington Wizards, 111-110, at TD Garden on Sunday night.

The Celtics (16-17) came in looking to notch an increasingly rare second consecutive win, and they found out earlier in the day they'd have to try and accomplish that goal without Jaylen Brown (knee). However, Boston was in fine form in the first half, building a five-point lead through one quarter that they still held at halftime. However, the Wizards (13-19) were able to shave two points from their deficit during the third quarter, and they eventually took as much as an eight-point lead with 2:56 remaining. However, the home squad managed to finish on a 13-4 run from that point forward, with Jayson Tatum draining the winning basket with just 4.7 seconds left.

Bradley Beal led the Wizards with 46 points, complementing them with seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. Russell Westbrook, playing in a rare back-to-back set, totaled 24 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Davis Bertans supplied 20 points, two rebounds and two assists. Robin Lopez registered 10 points, three boards, one assist and one block.

Tatum paced the Celtics with 31 points, supplementing them with eight rebounds, three assists and three steals. Kemba Walker delivered 21 points, eight assists, five rebounds and two steals. Daniel Theis compiled 20 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal. Javonte Green drew the start for Brown and posted eight points, two rebounds and two assists.

The Wizards head back home to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, while the Celtics remain home and tangle with the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night as well.
