“It was just funny to me. It was kind of copy-catting what we did,” said Wall, whose Wizards donned dark outfits before a regular-season game between these teams that are building a rivalry. “It was in my mind throughout the game that I didn’t want them to come here, wear all black, and basically call it a funeral.”
Wall finished with 26 points, Bradley Beal scored a game-high 33, and they combined for 23 of Washington’s 26 points in the back-and-forth fourth quarter.
Polish big man Marcin Gortat added 3 points and 13 rebounds, French Ian Mahinmi added 6 points and Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic 4. Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley each scored 27 points for Boston, the conference’s No. 1 seed.
