On the second night of a back-to-back, the Denver Nuggets barely resembled the team that dismantled the New York Knicks the night before. In a 108-95 loss to the Boston Celtics, Denver struggled mightily on the offensive end, especially from beyond the arc. As a result, Boston maintained a lead throughout the entire game and secured a comfortable home victory.
"We were kind of loose (on defense), we were not up on the screens and were retreating all the time," Nikola Jokiu0107 said. "It seemed like it was too easy for them."
The Celtics used some hot shooting from deep to race out to a 14-6 lead after the first four minutes of the game.
