Bulpett on the game: 

In a disturbing coincidence for the Celtics, their best player came back from an abdominal strain on the same night they turned in a defensive performance that was hard to stomach.

The Celts saw their opponent’s single-game high for the season eclipsed by 10 in a 124-118 loss to the Nuggets last night, making for a rocky start to their road trip here at the foot of the Rockies. Kevin Garnett couldn’t prevent the Celtics from losing their first game to a Western Conference team in 17 tries.
