After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 126-105. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
