After Action Report
In Washington, the Celtics handled the Wizards 106-92. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
