What goes around comes around.
The Celtics struck back at their bitter rivals by dressing in all black in anticipation for a Wizards funeral in Game 6. This was a move Washington first pulled against Boston in a January win this season.
The entire roster dutifully followed the dress code with the exception of Celtics head coach Brad Stevens, who said he wasn't consulted.

There's no love lost between the two sides, as the Wizards and Celtics have repeatedly butt heads this season. So naturally, with a 3-2 series lead in their favor, the Celtics are using the opportunity to gloat.
