After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards blew the doors off the Celtics 128-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
