00:00Nikola Jokic will jump against Robert Williams III. The Nuggets have it, and here we go.
00:08They won 15 in a row back in 2012-2013.
00:14Oh, what a pass! On the bounce to Porter!
00:17Jokic averaging a triple-double this week.
00:21The Nuggets a perfect week so far. Kemba Walker too fast.
00:25Jokic rips down his fourth rebound.
00:31Kampasso out to Barton. He pulls the trigger.
00:34And Bunn continues his good play.
00:37Porter under to Jokic.
00:39Jokic should have taken that shot.
00:41Gordon trying to bail him out. No.
00:43Inside is Barton with the follow.
00:46There's Jalen Brown. Made the All-Star team for the first time this year.
00:49Williams tries to dunk. Could not.
00:51Outlet is Porter!
00:53And Porter with a throw down.
00:5511 straight points for the Denver Nuggets here.
00:58They extend their lead to 16-5.
01:02Inside, Kemba Walker.
01:05That going around in the league this season.
01:08But by and large, the NBA's done pretty good.
01:10Jokic sets up Fakou for three!
01:13Nails it!
01:15His shoe on, he's still been working on it out of bounds.
01:18Green off the bench.
01:21Dozier shoots the three and hits.
01:23Porter.
01:24Another three.
01:25No, short.
01:27Didn't follow his shot.
01:28Now we've got a leak out.
01:30And the basket counts foul.
01:33Jokic trying to get the post.
01:34He's got smaller men to deal with.
01:36Dudes are beating him up right now.
01:38Now Green for three!
01:39Yes!
01:42Nuggets with the basketball and a 12-point lead.
01:46Down the middle to Millsap.
01:48Millsap lays it in.
01:49He played four years at Oregon.
01:50He's a very good young player.
01:54Now Thompson.
01:55Millsap almost took it away.
01:58But Thompson too tough that time.
02:02Millsap.
02:03Look at Dozier with the left hand.
02:10Now Brown.
02:11Shaking on Najee.
02:14Boom.
02:16And basket counts.
02:17That's a heck of a footwork move.
02:20Jalen Brown.
02:21It's slapped out of there by Williams.
02:27Inside, yes.
02:28Tatum.
02:31Really discombobulated.
02:35Porter turns the corner.
02:37Oh!
02:38And he rams it!
02:40Oh!
02:40Whoa!
02:44Now Tatum in the lane.
02:46And a three-point opportunity.
02:50For their ninth consecutive win.
02:54Now Jokic coming in.
02:55He's going to try to draw the double.
02:56Vakou long distance.
02:58Three!
02:58He's got it again!
03:00The Celtics have it again.
03:03Inside, Thompson dumps it in.
03:05I always thought he was a good player, Scott.
03:07Reliable, solid, those kinds of things.
03:12Jokic.
03:13In the lane.
03:15Force it up!
03:15And Nikola Jokic's first two points.
03:19Four and a half minutes remaining until halftime.
03:22Kapasso screen and roll.
03:25Land up in there.
03:26That boy played that beautifully.
03:27They don't pick him up, Scott.
03:29Well, they're not going to stop you.
03:31And they're worried about...
03:31Coverage starts right at 345.
03:34Jokic.
03:35No.
03:35Fakou.
03:36Smallest man on the court.
03:37Oh!
03:38And Gordon pops it in there.
03:45Pass under Williams.
03:47And the Nuggets...
03:48Give up the bucket there.
03:521.40 to go.
03:531.40 to go.
03:57Gordon for three.
03:58Yes!
04:00You'd have been smarter, you know.
04:02Well, he's one for six.
04:04From the three-point line.
04:05Yeah, I got you.
04:07Now smart contestant three.
04:09Got it.
04:10Nine seconds remaining.
04:13Tatum against Porter.
04:14Four to shoot.
04:16Tatum on the run.
04:17Tried to draw the foul.
04:18Puts it up and in.
04:19Celtics only shot two of 17 from three in that first half as Williams gets the dunk.
04:28Long range.
04:34And that's the first three for any Boston Celtic besides Marcus Smart.
04:3955-50.
04:41Nuggets trying to even the season series against the Boston Celtics today.
04:47Barton to Jokic.
04:48Basket counts.
04:50Foul.
04:51Nifty pass by Will.
04:52Jokic with the pump fake in the lane.
04:58Got a seven-footer and he drains it.
05:02Proved that he can make two or three shots in a row.
05:07That's a great move by Kemba Walker eluding Jokic.
05:11You see, rotate.
05:11Sometimes you're just tired.
05:14Pass to Faku.
05:16Score!
05:17And a foul!
05:19Mui Mui No!
05:20Faku to the line.
05:21The free throw, 11 points.
05:24Here comes Smart.
05:26Smart got it back.
05:29And the three-point opportunity here.
05:31Boy, the Nuggets missed.
05:32You know what?
05:33The last two.
05:35The last two are just missed.
05:38That's just a bad rebound by Porter.
05:40He's got to be a little bit more aggressive.
05:43And he throws it down!
05:46What a pass by Jokic.
05:48Oh, and then he comes back, gets rotation.
05:51Inside, Tristan Thompson.
05:53He comes in his passing.
06:00Brown and Brown.
06:02Little eight-footer there.
06:04Nuggets lead by 10.
06:05And then he puts it away.
06:10And then he puts it away.
06:16Boom.
06:18Kompasso for three.
06:19Again!
06:20You saw what I saw.
06:22Michael Porter cut late, right?
06:23That goes over the top.
06:25With 14 points now.
06:27Kompasso behind the back.
06:29And Walker should ride this in.
06:32He does.
06:34He'll zap his in.
06:36Kompasso turned it over again.
06:38Yeah, here's that lineup that really struggled in the second quarter.
06:41And they're back in to try it again.
06:43And Brown hollering all the way.
06:47Barton.
06:49Oh, my goodness.
06:50And they take it away.
06:51Five straight.
06:52Go ahead.
06:53I'm sorry.
06:55Oh, man.
06:56That is just a horrible sequence for the Denver.
07:00This is how you get yourself into games or even lose a game, you should win.
07:04So you've got to be careful here in these first three or four minutes.
07:07Jalen Brown has been the hot shooter.
07:09And he knocks in another one.
07:13Kemba Walker scores it.
07:17So now the Celtics are within one.
07:19Probably the best team I've seen him get into your push-off and step back to shoot.
07:23And give me a holla as Tatum.
07:26And Boston, 82-80.
07:33Ball knocked away.
07:34Morris has it.
07:35In the lane.
07:36And yes.
07:38Three-point lead for Boston.
07:42And the Nuggets bail out just in time for Tatum to get a wide-open jump shot.
07:47Just cannot buy one today.
07:48One of 11.
07:50He's got to start moving there.
07:52Got to start getting some layups and helping the team.
07:54Tatum for three.
07:55And the Nuggets are in big trouble here.
07:5616 minutes.
07:57Just scored two points.
07:58And Tatum, no.
08:00Jokic has it.
08:01The rebound.
08:03Threw it away.
08:03And the Celtics are feeling it, folks.
08:09She's trying to get fouled.
08:10I'm not going to get caught.
08:11He's going to get lobbing to do something funny.
08:15And we're going to have a lay-in here.
08:16The Nuggets are completely discombobulated.
08:24And another layup.
08:25Well, you know, not the kind of way you want to end the Roach in eight minutes.
08:30Porter.
08:35Hang.
08:35Yes.
08:3711 from three.
08:39Jokic, six of 15.
08:410 for two from three.
08:43That's funny.
08:44Six of 15 for Joker.
08:46And he's been struggling all night.
08:47He finally rolls it.
08:48He's going to get a rebound or maybe a dunk.
08:50Kent, don't let the league know what you're trying to do every time.
08:53Good block there.
08:58William III got it, what, third or fourth dunk already.
09:00He has ten points, eight rebounds for Williams III.
09:04And Porter puts it in.
09:06Oh, my.
09:12Wow.
09:13That insult to injury.
09:15Well, it's kind of like you back in high school when you got ready for the prom.
09:18And you're pretty much sure, I got my girlfriend.
09:20I know I'm going to go to the prom.
09:21And then she dumps you right before the prom.
09:23And you realize, I shouldn't have taken that for granted.
09:26And that's what the Nuggets did in the game tonight.
09:30So, no time to worry too much about this one.
09:33Because the Nuggets play tomorrow night at Golden State.
09:36That is it.
