After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Nuggets 117-105. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
