After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Celtics 107-99. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
