Video: Boston Celtics' Grant Williams leaves media members in splits as he gives post-match interview in Halloween costume
Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams showed up for the game against the Washington Wizards in his Halloween costume. Not only did Williams wear it pre-game, but also postgame. He dressed up as Batman and was in a full festive spirit.
Suiting up as your favorite superhero is one thing, but Williams went into full character mimicking Bruce Wayne's voice. In his postgame interview, Williams answered questions by imitating Batman. One of the reporters in the background even hilariously questioned the forward's antics.
Here's the full video:
absolutely obsessed with grant williams showing up to tonight’s game wearing a halloween costume, playing the game, and then putting it back on after so he could do his entire postgame presser in character https://t.co/ShcNhqB1JQ
Grant Williams playing the role of Batman in an interview isn't something bizarre, but definitely odd to see in the NBA. We've seen some of the most obnoxious and unique outfits worn by several players in the past and this Halloween costume is definitely one of them.
Boston Celtics bounce back to beat the Washington Wizards
The Boston Celtics bounced back from their overtime loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers as they beat the Washington Wizards 112-94. Three Celtics players Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon were influential in the win. Brown was the leading scorer with 24 points, while Tatum and Brogdon scored 23 points each to seal the win.
The Washington Wizards clearly struggled to get their offense going, with Kristaps Porzingis, being the team's highest scorer with 17 points. Three-time All-Star Bradley Beal also struggled to get his game going as he shot just four of 16 from the field and finished the game with 12 points.
Jaylen Brown put on a show in the first quarter as he came alive on offense. Brown scored 16 points on an efficient 57.1% shooting in 10 minutes. Tatum also scored 11 points in the first quarter and made three of his five shots from deep. The Wizards had no answer for Boston's duo and trailed 34-15 at the end of the first.
Washington cut down Boston's lead thanks to some scoring efforts from Rui Hachimura in the second quarter. Shooting 4-of-5 in the second quarter, Hachimura scored nine points and got some help from Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma, who added six apiece. The Wizards cut the lead to just an 11 point deficit, ending the half 58-47.
New signing Malcolm Brogdon got hot for the Celtics in the third quarter. He was perfect from the field, and his nine points helped bring the Celtics' lead back to 19 to end the quarter. Brogdon took over in the fourth as well, this time with some help from Grant Williams.
Led by Tatum, Brown and Brogdon, the team an impressive 44.7% from 3-point territory against the Wizards.
The Boston Celtics will be looking for revenge when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in their next game on Nov. 2 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse arena.
