Two teams with an NBA Finals pedigree meet on Wednesday as Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics take on the Denver Nuggets in Ball Arena. Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets look to halt the Celtics’ four-game winning streak at home.

The Celtics came up short in their quest for a perfect road trip on Wednesday night, falling 103-84 to the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. The loss snapped Boston’s four-game winning streak and leaves Boston with a 3-1 record on their road trip as they head home.

After being forced out due to illness against the Celtics, will Jamal Murray play against the defending champs?

The Boston Celtics went to Denver on Wednesday night and ran into a wall. The Nuggets were physical, disciplined and relentless on the offensive glass, and Boston had no answers in the second half. A four game win streak ended with a 103-84 defeat on the second night of a back-to-back at altitude.

The Denver Nuggets went into Wednesday on a cold streak, losing six of their previous nine games and seven straight matchups against teams with winning records.

The Denver Nuggets saw star point guard Jamal Murray leave the game in the first half against the Boston Celtics at home.

"Just to see where his career has gone, it's (made him) a very well-deserved, just a really good all-around basketball player," said Adelman.
