After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Wizards 114-101. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
