After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Celtics 100-81. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
