After Action Report
The Wizards buried the Celtics 116-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
