The Boston Celtics bounced back from a tough loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder by defeating the Denver Nuggets 118-106. Despite growing concerns about this team, Boston showed why they are still one of the best teams in the NBA.

It has been apparent even to the untrained eye that KP has not been himself when on the court for the Celtics since returning from an ankle injury.

The Boston Celtics head to the Ball Arena to face the Denver Nuggets in a non-conference matchup. The Celtics are 26-10, which puts them in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Nuggets are 20-14, which puts them in fourth place in the Western Conference.

The Celtics will return home from a four-game road trip to host the Sacramento Kings, who are on a five-game winning streak.

Boston will need to be vigilant to not look past the surging Kings, who have won 5 tilts in a row and are a better team than their record suggests.

The Boston Celtics will be taking on the Sacramento Kings later today and will be trying to win their second straight game. Boston is coming off a big win over the Denver Nuggets and now get their chance to face the offensive-heavy Kings.
