After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Celtics 103-96. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
