After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nuggets 118-93. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
