After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Nuggets 97-91. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
