Nuggets Shock Celtics With Their Defense
After a loss against The King James, Cavs, the Denver Nuggets regrouped and played a valiantly defensive minded game against the Boston Celtics and come away with a win in front of Boston’s home town fans. The game was a seesaw battle of runs, but coming down to late in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets put a strangle hold on the Celtics. The Nuggets are now 4 and 1 with Chauncey Billups in the lineup. This was only Bostons second loss of the year, and now they have a 8 wins and 2 losses record.
Denver spread the ball around the court and some of the individual player totals were 18 for Carmelo Anthony, 18 for Chauncey Billups, 16 for Kenyon Martin, 14 for Nene and off the bench J.R. Smith and Linas Kleiza had 10 each. The game ended with a score of 94-85.
