After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Celtics 109-76. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
