The Wizards buried the Celtics 104-83. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
