Boston 108, Washington 83

It's hard to blog about blowouts.

[recap] [box score]

Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo got us going tonight, putting up 13 points and seven assists, respectively, in the first quarter, and the Wizards never challenged us. We shot 55 percent from the field tonight, a number that dropped four or five ticks as the reserves played the entire fourth quarter. We were hot, but Washington is just bad defensively. Pierce and Rondo and Tony Allen were getting to the basket pretty much at will.

Pretty good minutes management from Doc tonight, as Ray Allen led us in minutes with 31, and no other starter played more than 28.

I know I'm not adding anything to the discussion here, but there's really precious little to say about a game like this one. Just keeping everyone informed, I guess.

We've got the Knicks on Sunday on NBATV (6 p.m. Eastern), which means I likely won't be able to watch it. That means my next post will probably come after Tuesday's battle in Charlotte. We're hosting Houston the next night, and then the big game on Friday at Cleveland on ESPN.
