BULLET POINTS: Celtics Send Wizards To Third Straight Defeat, 111-78

By Mark Bacon

The Washington Wizards were pummeled for the third time in four nights. The simple explanation for the 111-78 loss to the Boston Celtics? “The same [crap] again,” point guard John Wall said. “We’re not making shots, and we’re not playing defense.”

• Wall, who stated earlier in the week that his subpar performance this year must change, did not play like a two-time all-star. The spark plug for the Wiz, he finished with 10 points, six assists, four rebounds and three turnovers in 29 minutes.

• The Wizards never led and lost their third straight game. It was their sixth double-digit loss this season. Washington is now 1-7 when it allows opponents to score 100-plus points.

• Wittman attributed the Wizards’ problems to their offensive woes. Washington shot 6 for 20 in the first quarter last night and never recovered. They shot 32.1 percent and committed 22 turnovers — the fifth time they have had 20-plus in a game this season — versus 16 assists last evening.

• Wizards starting front court: 4-21, 10 points

• Celtics starting front court: 15-28, 41 points

• Turnovers: 22 (Wizards) - 15 (Celtics)

• Total rebounds: 46 (Wizards) - 58 (Celtics)

• Things are getting bad, and I’m not sure what will improve the snowballing situation.
