Boston moved to Denver to confirm its good form at the moment. Carried by the Jay Brothers and an unbreathable defense, the Celtics win a capital victory in the Rockies.
For the home boxscore of this encounter, follow the magic link.
If you are looking for which team is the most talked regarding at the moment, we give it to you in a thousand: the Celtics. With twenty victories out of the last twenty-four games, the cloverleaf franchise delights and a new label now seems to stick in its face, that of the team that no one wants to meet in a few weeks. The Nuggets had no choice that night at the Ball Arena in Denver. With the reigning MVP, candidate for his own succession, and a great collective to assist him, the players from Colorado had enough to offer a good resistance. It was to forget the main ingredients that now shape this Boston team. The first, and the one that comes up most often lately, this impenetrable defense. Nikola Jokic had to come up once morest it last night and the Serb is not likely to forget it anytime soon. Perfectly muzzled by the interior sector of the Celtics, the pivot ends the night with 23 points but a sad 8/…23 in shooting. The second ingredient is this nuclear strike force embodied by the Jay Brothers. Perfectly taking turns in scoring, the two darlings of the TD Garden set fire to the defense of Mike Malone, Tatum even offering himself a giga poster on the head of the Joker. Spoiler, it will feature prominently in the Morning Top 10. The last ingredient is this group which now knows how to follow the pace of its leaders and bring the little spark that is needed at the right time. Robert Williams, Grant Williams, Payton Pritchard, Marcus Smart, obviously we’re not going to list everyone, but Ime Udoka knows he can count on soldiers to go into the trenches in April. We wish a lot of courage to the team that will nab this Boston in the Playoffs.
We are also going to say a few words regarding our friends from Colorado because there were two teams on the floor that night. Unfortunately, this is not a match that will go down in history and Nikola Jokic seemed very alone when attacking the rampart set up by Boston. We will remember the small revolt on returning from the locker room when Mike Malone had decided to bench all his starting five and a slight tremor at the start of the fourth quarter, but it was very meager. Bad news never comes alone, it’s time to get out the calculator. With this loss, Denver finds itself with the same record as Minnesota. Small problem, the Wolves have the tie-breaker in their favor and the Nuggets therefore leave the Top 6 for the first time since January 8! If the counters stopped tomorrow, Denver should therefore play a play-off once morest the Clippers to participate in the Playoffs. Be careful not to play too much with fire gold diggers.
Boston is unplayable right now and the Nuggets have paid the price! Another authoritarian victory for the men of Massachusetts, the podium in the East is now within reach!
