After Action Report
In Boston, the Wizards buried the Celtics 127-79. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
