After Action Report
In Boston, the Nuggets snuck past the Celtics 122-121. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
