After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nuggets 119-77. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
