After Action Report

In Boston, the Nuggets survived the Celtics 108-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
