After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Nuggets 134-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
