Washington at Boston

Boston has been hard pressed to find the win column without Paul Pierce. It has been equally hard for them to find the hoop. Boston has scored just 85 ppg in their last nine games (excluding an OT game) and have given up just 92 ppg. They have really slowed things down, trying to find some answers on the offensive end. Washington went through a scoring spree where they scored 100+ and also gave up 100+ in twelve straight games. Since that streak has ended, their last seven games (not counting one in OT) have seen just 6 of 14 scores exceed 100 between them, and their opponent. This is a very lofty total considering Boston has become very methodical and they have played in games that average 177 total points over their last nine games. At the same time, a high scoring Washington team is at the low point of scoring output they have been in all season.
