Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray Brilliance Puts an End to Celtics’ Unbeaten Home Record

The Boston Celtics’ TD Garden glory comes to an end. The defending champions Denver Nuggets, spearheaded by Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, put an end to the unbeaten home 20-0 record on Friday night. The duo put together 69 points to silence an offense led by Jayson Tatum. Moreover, this game didn’t have a winner until the final buzzer, as the Celtics and their fans were behind Tatum when he went for the shot to tie the game.

Unfortunately, the 25-year-old, who had a poor game shooting the ball with 9-24, missed the shot that mattered the most. Moreover, the gasps and the sighs of relief following the game may have projected the possible NBA Finals teaser, as suggested by The Athletic’s Jared Weiss.

After winning 20 in a row, the Celtics have lost their first home game of the year despite just 2 turnovers. An absolutely epic battle tonight in a true Finals preview.
