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.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
