After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Wizards 108-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
