On this day: Wiz bested in ’18 East semis; Bing inducted; Nelson born

On this day, the Boston Celtics sent the Washington Wizards fishing in the ’18 East Semis, and guard Dave Bing was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Boston also defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 107-94 in Game 2 of the 2018 NBA Eastern Conference Finals two years ago today even with 42 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists from LeBron James.

Shooting guard Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 23 points and 6 rebounds, point guard Terry Rozier added 18 points and 6 rebounds while Horford chipped in 15 points and 10 rebounds.

“We’re going to fight,” Rozier said via the A.P. “At this point we don’t care if we win by half a point. If we win, that’s all that matters.”
