The Denver Nuggets took on the Boston Tacko Falls on day 5 of the 2019 MGM Resorts NBA Summer League, and the Celtics controlled the game for the majority of their 95-82 victory.
The first quarter featured all the action you might expect from day five in the desert — the Nuggets were 4-16 from the field with 5 turnovers and at one point the Celtics deployed a zone defense. It was a weird. It was clunky. It was Summer League.
Without Michael Porter Jr. in the lineup, and with Terrence Davis quickly being snaked off the two-way market, players who either won’t play for the Nuggets this season, or already made their Summer League debuts last summer comprise the remaining group.
