Before last night’s game 6, every member of the Boston Celtics team walked into the locker room wearing all black clothing which was likely a response to the Wizards donning all black against Boston earlier in the season.

Of course the Celtics lost because no one in the history of the NBA has ever pulled off the all black funeral gimmick in the playoffs.
After hitting the game-winner last night, John Wall ripped the Celtics for the stunt.

During the post game press conference, Isaiah Thomas tried to claim that the Celtics wearing all black was just a coincidence and wasn’t planned.
