Celtics at Wizards Stat Pack

*Tuesday was the first time that the Celtics have held the Heat to 16 or fewer free throws in a game when LeBron has played for Miami.



*With 11 rebounds tonight, Jared Sullinger already has 7 separate games of double-digit rebounds in January.

–This is the most for a Celtic in one month since March 2012 when Kevin Garnett had 7.

–Last Celtic with at least 8 separate games in a month: Perkins (had 9 in January 2010)



*With LeBron’s free throw miss at the end of the game, the Celtics have yet to give up 30 points to a player on the road this season. They have now played 22 road games on the season and are still keeping that streak alive.

–Every other team has already given up at least 2 such performances.



*The Celtics’ 10-game road losing streak is their longest since they lost 12 in 2007.

–Last time with more than 12 straight road losses: 1979 (13 straight)



*The Celtics’ 43 games are tied for the most played by a team this season.

–The Wizards’ 40 games are tied for the least played by a team this season.



*When outshooting their opponent by at least 1% this season, the Wizards are 15-0.

–The Wizards’ lone loss this season when outshooting their opponent was when they had a +0.9% differential in FG% in a 106-105 OT loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City.



*Via Elias: “The Heat trailed the Celtics, 86-84, with less than three minutes remaining in the game, but LeBron James took over from there. He made seven free throws in a 9-0 Miami run that earned the Heat a 93-86 victory. James converted nine foul shots overall in the final period, his highest total in any quarter in one day shy of two years — since he sank 10 shots from the line in the second quarter on January 22, 2012 against the Bucks.”
