After Action Report
In Washington, the Celtics rolled past the Wizards 100-77. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
