After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Celtics 133-102. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Wizards; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
