After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nuggets 129-89. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
