The Jazz scored 38 points in the third quarter after being held to 36 points in the first half. \u201cOur first half was great, and I think the third quarter, they got the best of us, and they played harder than us,\u201d Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said. \u201cIt was a combination of just transition, offensive rebounds, and then some of their dribble-drive stuff, not being able to defend without fouling. So you have to be able to put a full game together. The first half was good. Third quarter cost us, and when it\u2019s a close game like that, it\u2019s anybody\u2019s game.\u201d &#8230; Derrick White (26.3 percent) and Payton Pritchard (21.3 percent) have both struggled from behind the 3-point arc. \u201cJust gotta figure out a way to play for 48 minutes,\u201d White said. \u201cIt\u2019s simple. I mean, it\u2019s not simple, but that\u2019s what we have to do.\u201d &#8230; Forward Kyshawn George is Washington\u2019s leading scorer (17.9 points per game). Center Alex Sarr leads the team in rebounds (8.4), assists (4.1), and blocked shots (2.1) to go with 17.3 points per game.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"video | border_box color_white font_primary margin_bottom_40 inline_block width_full&#010;          &#010;          \"><figcaption class=\"font_primary font_size_12 margin_horizontal_0--tablet margin_horizontal_28--mobile padding_top\"><span class=\"color_main\">How will the Celtics perform this week, and will Drake Maye meet his match against Baker Mayfield?<\/span><span class=\"credit | color_gray\" \/><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<hr class=\"tagline_hr | border_foreground border_half gutter_20_28--mobile&#010;               margin_none text_align_left width_100px\" \/>\n<p class=\"tagline | font_primary inline_block  margin_top_32\">Amin Touri can be reached at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2025\/11\/05\/sports\/celtics-wizards-nov-5\/mailto:amin.touri@globe.com\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-size:inherit;letter-spacing:.5px\">amin.touri@globe.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>var oneTrustActive = true;<br \/>\nvar oneTrustConsentObj;<\/p>\n<p>try {<br \/>\n oneTrustConsentObj = JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem(&#8216;consent_one_trust_bgmp&#8217;) || &#8216;{}&#8217;);<br \/>\n} catch (err) {<br \/>\n oneTrustConsentObj = {};<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ Default to granted consent<br \/>\nvar consent=&#8221;grant&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ FB script decleration<br \/>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {<br \/>\n  if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};<br \/>\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=&#8217;2.0&#8242;;<br \/>\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;<br \/>\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];<br \/>\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s);<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n(window,document,&#8217;script&#8217;, &#8216;https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p>if (oneTrustActive &amp;&amp; oneTrustConsentObj &amp;&amp; oneTrustConsentObj.C0004 === false) {<br \/>\n  consent=&#8221;revoke&#8221;;<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ We need to call consent before we run init and track<br \/>\nfbq(&#8216;consent&#8217;, consent);<br \/>\nfbq(&#8216;set&#8217;, &#8216;autoConfig&#8217;, &#8216;false&#8217;, &#8216;884869448226452&#8217;);<br \/>\nfbq(&#8216;set&#8217;, &#8216;autoConfig&#8217;, &#8216;false&#8217;, &#8216;493062270895851&#8217;);<br \/>\nfbq(&#8216;init&#8217;, &#8216;884869448226452&#8217;);<br \/>\nfbq(&#8216;track&#8217;, &#8216;PageView&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2025\/11\/05\/sports\/celtics-wizards-nov-5\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston will get another crack at one of the league\u2019s bottom-dwellers with the 1-6 Wizards in town on Wednesday.
