After Action Report
In Washington, the Celtics squeaked past the Wizards 99-94. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
