Washington trails 2-1 in the contentious best-of-seven series
after dropping two road games in Boston. The latest charged
matchup included eight technical fouls and the Wizards' Kelly
Oubre Jr. getting ejected in the first half for a Flagrant 2
foul.
Washington's Brandon Jennings and the Celtics' Terry Rozier were
ejected in the fourth quarter after each received two technical
fouls. Boston coach Brad Stevens and Wizards coach Scott Brooks
were hit with technical fouls.
Isaiah Thomas scored 53 points in the Celtics' 129-119 overtime
victory Tuesday, but was held to 13 points on 3-of-8 shooting in
Game 3.
Warriors 115, Jazz 104
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Draymond Green led an early spurt with a pair
of 3-pointers, propelling Golden State to victory over Utah in
their Western Conference semifinal series.
Green (21), Kevin Durant (25) and Stephen Curry (23) all topped
20 points for the Warriors, who take a 2-0 lead in the
best-of-seven series to Salt Lake City for Games 3 and 4 on
Saturday and Monday. The Jazz's Gordon Hayward, held to 12
points Tuesday in a 106-94 loss in Game 1, led all scorers with
33 points Thursday.
The Warriors survived a scare early in the fourth quarter when
Green fell to the court while trying an awkward driving shot. He
quickly regained his feet but grabbed at his left knee as he
dropped back to the court. Green was able to walk to the locker
room and ultimately returned to the game.
