Tensions rise between Wizards, Celtics
TNT
You can feel the tension rising in Boston.
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter left Tuesday's Game 2 against the Celtics after taking a wayward arm to the face from Isaiah Thomas.
Porter left the game and headed for the locker room, but eventually returned.
After the incident, Thomas and Wizards forward Markieff Morris drew a double technical.
That wasn't the only questionable play involving Porter. In the first half, he was hit under the basket by Jae Crowder.
Animosity between the two teams isn't new, as they squared off in a near-brawl in January. Two weeks later, the Wizards arrived for a rematch dressed in all black.
