After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Nuggets 111-108. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
