After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Wizards 138-105. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
