After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Celtics 157-117. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
