The Denver Nuggets edged the Boston Celtics 114–110 on January 7 at TD Garden in a defensive battle that finished well under the Vegas total of 230.5 points. P. Watson led Denver with 30 points, while J. Murray added 22, and the Nuggets' balanced offensive attack produced 27 assists on 44.8% shooting. Boston countered with J. Brown's team-high 33 points and P. Pritchard's 17, though the Celtics shot just 45.3% from the field and made only 15 three-pointers compared to Denver's 20. The fourth quarter proved decisive, with Denver outscoring Boston 35–28 in the final period to secure the road victory. Denver's defense held the Celtics to a 116.3 offensive rating while generating seven steals, and the Nuggets' ball movement—reflected in their 27 assists against just seven turnovers—proved crucial in a low-scoring affair. Boston's 14 turnovers and 123.2 defensive rating underscored their struggles down the stretch. The win strengthens Denver's position in the Western Conference standings.
