After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Celtics 132-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
