After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Wizards 126-102. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
