The Boston Celtics' perfect start at home is no more.
The Denver Nuggets became the first team to beat the Celtics in Boston this season on Friday, walking out of the TD Garden with a 102-100 win. The Celtics had started the season 20-0 at home and were carrying a 27-game home win streak dating back to last season.
Boston's last home loss had been a double-overtime loss to the New York Knicks on March 5, 2023.
The 20-0 start remains the best in Celtics history. Their 32-10 record is also still the best in the NBA.
