After Action Report
The Wizards stunned the Celtics 123-121 in overtime. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
