After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Wizards 103-96. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics 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.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
