In a closely contested NBA game, the Denver Nuggets emerged victorious over the Boston Celtics with a final score of 115-109. Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with a remarkable 32-12-11 triple-double, contributing significantly to Denver's win and their season sweep against Boston. Jaylen Brown was a standout for Boston, scoring 42 points in 41 minutes, while Kristaps Porzingis added 24 points. Despite their efforts, the Celtics struggled, particularly from the three-point line, shooting 11-for-38, and Jayson Tatum had a very poor game. The Celtics couldn't contain the Jokic-Gordon duo and had some weak turnovers. This loss marks only the second time this season that Boston has lost back-to-back games, highlighting the rarity of their defeats. The Nuggets' ability to sweep the season series against the Celtics, who have been one of the NBA's top teams this year, underscores Denver's strength and raises anticipation for a potential Finals matchup between these two teams.
