The Denver Nuggets could not overcome a sluggish start and lazy ball handling as the opportunistic Boston Celtics extended their winning streak to four games with a 111-103 victory. The Celtics were two steps ahead of the Nuggets all night long, like a Wade Phillips defense against a Josh McDaniels offense, pressuring the Nuggets into forced shots and sloppy passes throughout. The Nuggets showed some pride by fighting back each time the Celtics pulled away, but they had dug themselves too deep a hole to overcome.
