After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards handled the Celtics 129-113. Wizards' offense had its way with the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
