After Action Report

The Wizards pulled away from the Celtics 154-144 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
