After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Celtics 124-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
