The Washington Wizards had their backs against the wall heading into game 3 against the Boston Celtics. They could very much be up 2-0 in this series instead of Boston, but that wasn't the case. The Wizards destroyed the Celtics 116 to 89.

At the 9:12 mark in the second quarter, Kelly Olynyk was called for a moving screen on Kelly Oubre Jr. Oubre didn't like it, so he charged Olynyk and shoved him to the ground and he was ejected from the contest.

What also sparked the Wizards to a big win was going on a 17-0 run in the first quarter to break the game open.

John Wall scored 24 points for the Wizards and had 8 assists as well. Bogan Bogdanovic scored 19 points off the bench and went 4 for 7 from downtown. Otto Porter Jr. scored 19 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.

Al Horford led the Celtics in scoring with 16 points. Isaiah Thomas was only held to 14 points. Game 4 is on Sunday Night in Washington.
