After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Wizards 144-91. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
