After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Celtics 108-93. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
