After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Nuggets 114-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
