After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Celtics 120-99. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
