BOSTON — There was no ceremony to Sunday for the Washington Wizards.
For the fans, the end of the grueling first season of Washington’s rebuild might be reason to celebrate, an opportunity to wash your hands of an agonizing crawl to a 15-67 record and look forward to next year. But to the coaches and players who survived all that losing, there was no sense of relief, no outlandish emotion in either direction after one last defeat, this one coming 132-122 to the NBA-best Boston Celtics.
