After Action Report

The Celtics stunned the Nuggets 123-91. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
