NBA Celtics Postgame Analysis Jaylen Brown’s 33 Not Enough as Bench Fails to Stop Nuggets Run 2 of 3

The Boston Celtics’ five-game winning streak came to a crashing halt at TD Garden as a shorthanded Denver Nuggets team pulled off a 114-110 comeback. Despite a dominant 33-point performance from Jaylen Brown, Boston’s defense crumbled in the fourth quarter, surrendering a devastating 14-0 run led by Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji. We break down the shooting struggles of Derrick White and Payton Pritchard (combined 4-of-18 from deep), the impact of Jayson Tatum’s ongoing absence, and why the Celtics’ poor free-throw shooting (9-of-15) proved costly in a game defined by 26 lead changes. Plus, we look at Neemias Queta’s massive 20-rebound night and what Joe Mazzulla needs to fix before the Raptors visit on Friday. #Celtics #BostonCeltics #NBA #JaylenBrown #CelticsPostgame #BleedGreen #NBAAnalysis #JaysonTatum #Neemias Queta #DerrickWhite #NBAHighlights #BasketballNews #TDGarden #NBA2026
