This was far from pretty to start but for one of few times this year, when the Celtics faced adversity, we fought back. The Celtics went on a 40-8 run including their 31-8 4th quarter performance and came out with the win. The Denver Nuggets were the hottest team in the NBA winning 7 straight games since acquiring Aaron Gordon and were beating teams by an average of 11 PPG in that stretch. With that being said, the Celtics came out missing, seemingly, every single shot they took from deep. We were 2-17 from deep in the first half and Marcus Smart was the only Celtics player to hit a three. We dug ourselves in a pretty big hole in the start of the third and absolutely went off from there. This was one of the most energetic halves of basketball we have seen all season long and is a huge win against a really tough team. The Celtics still have their work cut out for them on this road trip but if we can play with similar energy as our second half tonight, we can add to this winning streak and move up the standings as we're only 1 GB the 4 seed.
