The Boston Celtics pivot from their much-needed win against the Indiana Pacers to host the Washington Wizards at TD Garden on Sunday evening, hoping to string together multiple wins for the first time since late January.
The Wizards are no easy out given the tear they’ve been on of late, winners of seven of their last ten games at the time of this writing, playing the Celtics on the back end of a back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And with a key member of their rotation in question for the contest, it may well be one of the more serious tests of the young Boston team’s resolve just 48 hours after gutting their way to a critical win.
