The Washington Wizards took their last two road losses to the Boston Celtics in stride and played with a chip on their shoulder, this time not relinquishing their first-quarter lead and keeping it throughout the entirety of the game.

Game 3 wasn't short of altercations and physicality, resulting in multiple ejections and back-and-forth trash talk between the teams. In the midst of it, point guard John Wall dedicated one of his and-one free throws to teammate Otto Porter who got nailed in a previous play.

Wall was spotted saying “this is for you, O” pointing at his teammate at his right before swishing his free-throw attempt.
