After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Wizards 95-85. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
