After Action Report
In Boston, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Celtics 135-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
