After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Celtics 115-96. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
