After Action Report

The Wizards handled the Celtics 110-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
