Despite the loss, Boston’s 20-0 start remains the best in Celtics history, and their overall record of 32-10 remains the best in the NBA. Nikola Jokic, the reigning MVP, played a pivotal role in the Nuggets’ quest to end the streak, contributing 34 points on 14-of-22 shooting, along with 12 rebounds and nine assists.

The game featured an unusual moment as Jokic, positioned between Kristaps Porzingis and Jaylen Brown, feigned a move into the paint during a free throw by Aaron Gordon. This led to a double lane violation, resulting in a jump ball that turned possession over to the Celtics. However, their attempts to tie or win the game in the final moments fell short.
