After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Celtics 105-101. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
