After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Wizards 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
