After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Wizards 118-102. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
