After Action Report

The Celtics rolled past the Wizards 125-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
