After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Celtics 141-111. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
