After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Celtics 120-105. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
