Celtics Edge Nuggets 110-103 Behind Jaylen Brown's 22 Points

The Boston Celtics secured a 110-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets, bouncing back from a tough loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers just days prior. Jaylen Brown, instrumental in the win, scored 22 points and contributed 8 assists, showcasing his leadership despite entering the game questionable due to injury. The Celtics’ depth played a crucial role, with their bench scoring 28 points compared to Denver's 11, highlighting a stark contrast from their previous game where the bench contributed only 6 points. Brown emphasized the importance of a strong defensive performance against the reigning champions, crediting teammates for making pivotal plays. This win was particularly significant as it prevented Boston from losing three consecutive regular-season games for the first time since March 2023. The Celtics aim to build on this momentum as they continue their homestand.
