After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Celtics 97-81. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
