Sunday afternoon against the Boston Celtics was not the Denver Nuggets finest moment this season. A game the Nuggets seemed to have well in hand quickly slipped away from them in the second half as they allowed Boston to close the game on a 40-8 run.
Denver scored just eight points in the fourth quarter, which is not a recipe for success when you're looking for your ninth consecutive victory. Nonetheless, the Nuggets have still won 17 of their last 21 games and have grown into one of the best teams in the NBA.
