After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Nuggets 111-109. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics are in a full-on tailspin; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nuggets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
