(Regular Takeaways will be up later in the day on Saturday, but given the circumstances, here are the two main takeaways from Celtics/Nuggets)
- Grit. Toughness. Togetherness. Fight. All good words to describe the Celtics and their effort against the Nuggets after losing Kemba Walker to a scary head/neck injury in the first half of the game. Brad Stevens single greatest strength may be shepherding his team through adversity. Unfortunately, it looks like Boston may need to lean on that strength again, at least short-term.
