After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics demolished the Wizards 140-111. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
