After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics demolished the Nuggets 132-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
