After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Wizards 109-85. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
