After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Celtics 126-104. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
