NBA Playoffs 2017: Celtics vs. Wizards Game 7 live stream: Watch online
The Washington Wizards forced a Game 7 against the Boston Celtics behind John Wall’s late-game heroics. Here’s the live stream information for Game 7 on Monday night.
The two best words in all of sports: Game 7. That is what the fans will get to enjoy between the Wizards and Celtics on Monday night. Although the NBA playoffs haven’t lived up to the hype so far, this series has been really entertaining.
John Wall best explained the series between the Wizards and Celtics in one sentence, “You don’t come into my city and wear all black and call it a funeral.” There’s absolutely no love lost between Boston and Washington. These two teams have hated each other during the regular season and it’s been no different in these six games.
Highlighted by the kerfuffle (thanks, KD) between Kelly Oubre and Kelly Olynyk, this series has been reminiscent of a physical, 1990s-esque playoff matchup. The home team has won all six games in this series and Boston fans are hoping it stays that way for one more game. As the old saying goes, “a series never begins, until the road team wins.” Well the Wizards’ fans are hoping the series starts and ends on the same night, with a win on the road.
Game 6 was a defensive battle in the nation’s Capital, featuring gutsy fourth-quarter performances by both teams. John Wall and Bradley Beal were sensational for the Wizards, combining for 59 points and 13 assists. Avery Bradley followed up his solid performance in Game 6 with another nice outing, scoring 27 points on 10-for-18 shooting. 5-foot-9 Isaiah Thomas showed up again in the fourth quarter, coming up with back-to-back buckets before Beal and Wall closed the show.
Game 7 will be determined by which backcourt shows up. If Beal and Wall can produce like they did in Game 6, they might be moving on to the Conference Finals. If Thomas and Bradley can do some home-cooking, they might be hosting Cleveland on Wednesday.
Here are the expected starters for Game 7 on Monday night:
Projected Starting Lineups
Wizards: John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr., Markieff Morris and Marcin Gortat
Celtics: Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Al Horford and Amir Johnson
