After Action Report

In Boston, the Wizards squeaked past the Celtics 118-116 in overtime. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; 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.
