After Action Report

The Wizards squeaked past the Celtics 109-106. Wizards' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Wizards sent shots into the fifth row all night; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
