January 15, 2008 Wizards beat Celtics again

UNDATED (AP) - Just five NBA teams have managed to beat the Boston Celtics this season. The Washington Wizards are the first to do it twice.

The Celtics own their first losing streak of the season after the Wizards completed a home-and-home sweep at Boston, 88-83. The Wizards trailed by 14 until Caron Butler scored nine of his 21 points during a 25-6 run over the final 6½ minutes. Butler hit a high-arcing lay-up with 19.6 seconds left to put Washington ahead to stay.

Antawn Jamison added 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Wizards dealt the Celtics their third loss in four games. Boston was 29-and-3 before the skid.

Kevin Garnett had a game-high 23 points for the Celtics.
