After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Wizards 116-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
