"Boston's starting center finished with a team-high 24 points and went 11 for 13 from the field. He added 10 rebounds and two blocks, making his presence felt all over the paint. He got the majority of his work done in the first half, scoring 22 points in those first two frames."
"Nikola Vucevic is missing a majority of the regular season with his recent hand injury, which means Queta will have to handle a larger workload for the foreseeable future. He had no issues with his 31 minutes on Saturday."
"Tatum went 8 for 19 from the field and only made two of his nine 3-point attempts. He's only shooting 29 percent from beyond the arc since returning. His shooting range has rounded out his game for years now; with it, he's a serious threat to score from anywhere on the floor."
The Boston Celtics defeated the Washington Wizards 111-100 at home, with Neemias Queta delivering an outstanding performance as the team's leading scorer. Queta dominated the paint with 24 points on an efficient 11-for-13 shooting, adding 10 rebounds and two blocks in 31 minutes. He scored 22 of his points in the first half. Jayson Tatum contributed 20 points and a team-high 14 rebounds in his continued acclimation to the lineup, though he struggled from three-point range, making only 2 of 9 attempts. The entire Celtics roster struggled from beyond the arc, with most players shooting poorly from three-point distance against Washington.
