The Boston Celtics collapsed in the fourth quarter to lose to a Nikola Jokic-less Denver Nuggets at TD Garden this Wednesday (Jan. 7) night. Great defense and hot shooting from beyond the arc helped power the Nuggets to a 114-110 victory vs. the Celtics, while defensive mistakes and long spells of cold shooting from Boston were the main culprits in the loss on the other side of the court.
The folks behind the “NBC Sports Boston” YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at what went wrong for the Celtics and what needs to happen to prevent such losses in the future. Hosts Chris Forsberg and Abby Chin get into every angle of the loss, as well as a look back at Boston’s successful West Coast road trip.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about the defeat, and what comes next for the Celtics.
