After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Wizards 110-97. Celtics torched the Wizards on the offensive end. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
