After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Wizards 122-96. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 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. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
