Sunday, March 2, witnessed one of the biggest games of the NBA season. The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets, two top teams in their respective conferences, locked horns, and it was a spectacle of basketball talent.
The Nuggets almost survived to Jokic’s return. They were down 88-84. The last minute without him was a near-death sentence, though. Sam Hauser knocked down a transition drive-and-kick 3-pointer to bring the house down with 8:11 to go, highlighting a 6-0 burst.
Jaylen Brown had 22 points, eight assists and five rebounds to help the Boston Celtics end a two-game losing streak by beating the visiting Denver Nuggets 110-103 Sunday.
The Celtics avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season Sunday with a gritty 110-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden.
