After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Celtics 102-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
