After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Nuggets 102-101. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Nuggets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
