After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards edged the Celtics 106-97. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
