The Boston Celtics dominated the Washington Wizards 136–107 on November 5 at TD Garden, with Jaylen Brown leading the way on 35 points while Jrue Minott added 21 in a decisive home victory. Boston's offensive efficiency proved overwhelming, shooting 54.7 percent from the field and connecting on 16 three-pointers, while holding Washington to 48.8 percent shooting and just 9 made threes. The Celtics' defense was particularly stifling in the second and third quarters, outscoring Washington 76–43 over that span after a tight opening period; Boston's 139.9 offensive rating and 107.1 defensive rating underscored the gulf in execution. Washington's Alperen Şengür paced the Wizards with 31 points, but the team's 19 turnovers and 25 total assists—paired with just 2 steals—reflected a sluggish offensive rhythm. Boston's 31 assists on 136 points showcased efficient ball movement that Washington's defense could not contain. The result reinforces Boston's status as an Eastern Conference contender while exposing Washington's defensive vulnerabilities heading into a challenging stretch.
