After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Wizards 104-99. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
