After Action Report
The Nuggets upended the Celtics 119-118. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
