After Action Report

The Celtics handled the Nuggets 110-96. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
