After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Wizards 113-108. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
