After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Celtics 102-93. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
