Fueled by a 42-point offensive explosion in the third quarter - which included a 26-0 run, the Washington Wizards evened up their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal round series with the top-seeded Boston Celtics at two-apiece with a resounding 121-102 victory at the Verizon Center in DC. John Wall bounced back from a slow start and finished with 27 points and 12 dimes. Bradley Beal shot an efficient 11 of 16 from the field and led the Wiz and all scorers with a 29-spot. Isaiah Thomas was held in check on the offensive end for a second straight game by Washington's collective defensive effort, scoring just 19 points to pace the Celts in the loss. A pivotal Game 5 will be played in Boston on Wednesday night, May 10.
