After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Wizards 146-129. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
