After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards buried the Celtics 139-117. Wizards torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
