Washington Wizards thoroughly embarrassed the Celtics at the Verizon Center, blowing them out 116-89.

In Tuesday’s overtime loss, everything went wrong for the Wizards – they didn’t defend the paint or the three-point line; didn’t grab offensive rebounds, and didn’t chase down any 50-50 balls. The Wizards were literally crushed in the paint.

However, the King of the Fourth that is Isaiah Thomas, got to sit on his throne the entire fourth quarter Thursday night, otherwise known as the bench.

While John Wall let the Boston know, that IT may rule a quarter, but it is he who rocked the Celtics to kingdom come.

The King of the Fourth, got scorched by the Wizards, and Thomas ended the game with only 13 points.

So let’s break down what went right for Washington– besides everything.
