Ray Allen felt comfortable all night.

With a game-high 25 points and 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the 3-point line, the stats say as much.

The problem was — for 42 minutes — the Washington Wizards felt just as good in nearly everything they did.

With the Celtics down 13 points, that’s when Allen said the C’s finally got to their opponent, opening the door for him to play hero in the final 93 seconds.

“It was night and day. We put a lot of pressure on them. We made them play away from the basket. We forced them to be more uncomfortable than we did in the first half,” said Allen, whose trey with 17.1 seconds remaining proved to be the difference in Boston’s 86-83 win.

Asked if the Celtics might have gotten away with a win when maybe they didn’t deserve one, Allen was as honest as he could be.

“You could say probably in a small way we did,” he admitted. “But we fought for it, we never gave up or thought it was over with, so it bowed in our favor tonight.”
