After Action Report

The Wizards took care of the Celtics 111-97. Wizards' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
