Boston’s loss against Denver wasn’t just about missed shots or late-game execution. It was, above all, a night where defensive choices, communication, and coverage discipline consistently put the Celtics in uncomfortable situations.

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown hasn’t had many off nights this season, but Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets was — for the most part — one of those nights. Impressively, Brown still managed to put up a more-than-respectful respectable stat line of 33 points (14-29 FG), 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. That, on its face, […]

The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics are exceeding even the most optimistic expectations.
