The Washington Wizards defeated the Boston Celtics 115-112 in a double-overtime thriller. There were some impressive individual performances on both ends. However, the Wizards got the better of the Celtics, with the former improving their record to 5-1.

Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wizards had a career-high 17-rebounds, Bradley Beal dropped 36-points, while Montrezl Harrell and Spencer Dinwiddie had significant contributions. Dinwiddie’s jumper with less than 25 seconds in the second overtime gave the Wizards a 3-point lead.
