Tuesday’s 118-106 win over the Denver Nuggets capped off a four-game road trip out west for the Boston Celtics. The Cs logged a 3-1 record, falling only to the 30-5 Oklahoma City Thunder.
I think if you told Celtics fans that the team would fare this way when the NBA released its schedule back in August, they’d feel pretty happy with it. Hell, if you told them that a week ago, they’d react the same. Taking three of four from a trio of Western Conference heavies on the road, plus an up-and-coming Houston Rockets team is no joke (even if Nikola Jokic didn’t play for the Nuggets).
