After Action Report
The Nuggets upended the Celtics 114-112. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
