After Action Report

In a track meet, the Wizards squeaked past the Celtics 112-107. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
