After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets downed the Celtics 117-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
