After Action Report
In Denver, the Celtics took care of the Nuggets 115-102. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
