After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Wizards 104-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
