After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Wizards 117-112. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
