After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Celtics 96-95. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
