After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Celtics 126-82. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
