After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Nuggets 134-97. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
