After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Wizards 134-108. Celtics torched the Wizards on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
