At least the Wizards won’t leave the Orlando bubble fanny. Opposed to a B – or even C – team of the Boston Celtics, coach Brad Stevens having decided to turn because his team is guaranteed to finish third in the Eastern Conference, Washington ended its season with a victory (96-90). Ian Mahinmi’s team (who didn’t play) was carried by inside Thomas Bryant (26 points, 9 rebounds).

For the Celtics, Frenchman Vincent Poirier played his first minutes in Florida. In just over a quarter of an hour (16’21 ”), the former Vitoria player compiled 2 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. Ninth in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards will be able to get out of the bubble. Boston will face Philadelphia in the first round of the play-offs.
