Nikola Jokičius, who scored nearly half of the team’s points, didn’t save the Nuggets.
In the 37.5 minutes, the Serbian scored up to 43 points (13/18 round trip, 3/5 trit., 8/8 penalty), bounced 6 balls and scored 5 assists.
VIDEO: Nikola Jokičius’ performance against the Celtics
N.Jokičius scored at least 40 points for the third time this season. He scored the most, even fifty points, in the Sacramento Kings basket, improving his career performance record.
The Serbian scored as many as 29 points before the long break. That’s the most points an opponent has earned since 2002, when Allen Iverson visited Boston.
The Denver club in Boston practiced without several five starting basketball players, Paul Millsap and Gary Harris, and these losses were taken advantage of by the Argentine Facundo Campazzo.
The NBA rookie, who made the top five for the first time, played the longest on the team, including 39.5 minutes, and rewarded his confidence by winning 15 points (3/6 doubles, 2/6 trits, 3 / 4 from penalty), making 8 assists, bouncing 3 and taking 2 balls.

After jumping from the Real Madrid club to the NBA in November, Campazzo reiterated his performance record and set a new record transfer limit: By then, the Argentine had achieved the most of 5 assists.
The Celtics held a 13-point lead in the first half of the game (46:33), but Jamal Murray, who started in the third half, helped the Nuggets level with 71:71.
At that point, however, Jaylen Brown hit two consecutive 3-pointers, inspiring Boston’s 15: 4 streak, and the hosts built up the winning lead.
With this victory, the Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers and climbed to fourth place in the Eastern Conference. The Nuggets are seventh in the West.
“Celtics”: Jaylen Brown 27 (5/10 trit.), Jayson Tatumas 21 (1/8 trit., 8 res.), Kemba Walker 17 (3/8 trit.).
“Pepitas”: Nikola Jokičius 43 (13/18 dvit., 3/5 trit., 8/8 baud.), Jamalas Murray 25 (4/8 trit., 6 rez. Lost), Facundo Campazzo 15 (8 rez. Lost) .
