With 11.5 seconds remaining in a 100-all tie, Sixers wing Justin Edwards rose up for the go-ahead 3-pointer and bricked his first shot of the game after making his first five from long range.

Jordan Walsh had a perfect career-night to lead the Celtics to a dominant 146-101 win over the Wizards on Thursday night at Capital One Arena.
