After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Wizards 101-100. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
