BOSTON – On Sunday, fresh off a laugher of a loss to the cellar dwelling Wizards, Kemba Walker acknowledged the obvious: The Celtics had hit rock bottom.
“It's not a great feeling, the way we're playing,” Walker deadpanned. “It can't get no worse than this. So, we're going to fix it for sure.”
Boston bounced back on Tuesday, surviving a 43-point outburst from Nikola Jokic to outlast the Nuggets. It ended, temporarily, a stretch that saw the Celtics lose seven of its last ten, ten of its last 15 and sink to .500 for the first time since the opening week of the season.
