BOSTON — Ime Udoka, ever on the alert for slippage, was alarmed by the return of some bad habits over the three preceding games, including Friday night’s win over Indiana.
Another high-scoring opponent checked in Sunday — the Wizards have increased their scoring since the arrival of Kristaps Porzingis at the trade deadline — but as the Celtics discovered, the other end of the floor was wide open. They broke the 30-point barrier in all four quarters.
The Celtics took their second straight with a 144-102 win over the light-defending Wizards. Jaylen Brown scored an easy 32 on 12-for-17 shooting, with six other Celtics also reaching double figures, including 22 from Jayson Tatum.
