After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Celtics 134-113. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
