After Action Report
In Denver, the Celtics survived the Nuggets 84-82. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
