Lyou Celtics of Boston prevailed this Friday to the Denvers Nuggets by 108-102 in a tight match that marks their seventh consecutive victory thanks in part to the help of the newcomer Derrick White.
The Celtics, in the seventh place in the Eastern Conference and having won their previous six games, they were hosting the Nuggets, in the sixth place in the West and that they had just won their last two games.
The best of Boston was Jayson Tatum with 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Robert Williams III got a double double of 15 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
The most outstanding player of the match was Nikola Jokic, who got the triple double of 23 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks.
Argentine Facundo also had an outstanding performance for the Nuggets Campazzowho coming off the bench scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block.
The Argentine, in addition, was the protagonist of one of the images of the night with Marcus Smart. The Argentine point guard ended up on the ground after a push and a slap by the Celtics player, unhinged by the Argentine’s defense. The play ended with the referees pointing out Campazzo’s defensive foul, who referred to the play after the match: “The play did not define the game. It was just another situation in the game. If it had been for us, it could have changed the closure. But we lost because of other aspects of the game.”
