After Action Report
The Nuggets buried the Celtics 114-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
