After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Nuggets 109-89. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed.
