After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Wizards 94-83. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
