Boston Celtics at Washington Wizards
· National Basketball AssociationTatum, Brown help Celtics rout Wizards 122-102 in first road game
Jaylen Brown scored 27 points in the Celtics' first road game of the season. Derrick White had 19 and Payton Pritchard added 15 as the defending NBA champions extended their winning streak against Washington to five games.
Jordan Poole scored 20 of his 26 points before halftime in the rebuilding Wizards' season opener, and Jonas Valanciunas added 18 in his Washington debut.
After taking their first double-digit lead just before halftime, the Celtics outscored the Wizards 34-19 in the third quarter put the game out of reach.
Wizards: With rookies Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington in an extremely young starting lineup, the first half was mostly an encouraging performance. But Washington's third-quarter struggles echoed a recurring problem from last season. Carrington's night ended with a potential injury following an awkward fourth-quarter fall.
