After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Celtics 129-108. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
