After Action Report
In Denver, the Celtics blew the doors off the Nuggets 114-86. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Nuggets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
