The Denver Nuggets (8-4) lose to the Boston Celtics (9-3) 131-112. Both teams came into tonight on a 4-game win streak but the Nuggets streak, unfortunately, came to an end. Bones Hyland was a late scratch for tonight and his presence on the bench was sorely missed. Denver had no answer defensively for Boston at times, allowing multiple runs and they could not keep up offensively with the Celtics in the first half. Without Nikola Jokiu0107, KCP and Bruce Brown helped get the Nuggets back in the game during the 3rd quarter but, ultimately fall short in the end.
