After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Celtics 100-99. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
