After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Wizards 113-66. The Celtics' lockdown unit choked off Wizards' offense. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
