Wizards top Celtics 118-92 to clinch playoff berth

John Wall will soon be making his playoff debut, and the Washington Wizards will be there for the first time since 2008, having clinched an Eastern Conference berth Wednesday night with a 118-92 win over the Boston Celtics.

Wall had 13 points and 10 assists in one of the Wizards' easiest wins in recent history. It was their biggest margin of victory this season, and their 62.5 shooting percentage was their best in a game since 2001.

Marcin Gortat scored 22 points on 10-for-13 shooting, and Bradley Beal went 7 for 8 to finish with 19 points.

Jared Sullinger had 25 points, and Rajon Rondo had 13 to lead the Celtics, who have lost six in a row and 11 of 12 — and also 11 straight on the road.
