After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Celtics 105-74. Wizards' positional fit overwhelmed the Celtics rotation. The Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
