After Action Report
In Denver, the Celtics survived the Nuggets 114-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
