Game 7 in Boston did not go well for the Wizards as they lost 115-105 to the Celtics as Kelly Olynyk led Boston to victory with an impressive performance off the bench in the decisive final showdown. The series was chippy throughout, featuring some minor scraps and ejections, but the biggest altercation of the series wasn’t on the court.
A Wizards fan and Celtics fan got into some fisticuffs late in Game 7 as the beverages flowed and emotions ran high in the stands in TD Garden. The fight didn’t last especially long, as the Wizards fan clocked the Celtics fan that allegedly slapped him with a swift left cross and then a push that sent him down. Another Celtics fan popped in to throw a very weak punch attempt from behind before security stepped in to put a stop to the nonsense.
The aftermath of the battle in the stands was a disgusting puddle of blood as the Wizards fan’s punch must have opened up the Celtics fan’s nose like a faucet. The scene was captured by a friend of CSN New England football analyst Albert Breer.

That’s an awful lot of blood. The moral of the story is that fighting in the stands at sporting events is bad and dumb. The best case is you knock someone out and get arrested, and worst case is you end up being the guy that gets punched once and then leaks blood all over the ground and probably gets thrown out or arrested as well.
