Celtics Outlast Nuggets in 3OT - Snap 9 Game Win Streak
[font=courier new']Boston Herald[/font]
-- The argument can be made the Denver Nuggets are what the Celtics now strive to be — a balanced team with any number of scorers who can make a spike in a box score.

The Nuggets are also young, quicker and more athletic — far better equipped for three overtime periods than their revamped elders on the Celtics.

But youth flinched first last night.

Kevin Garnett, despite one of his worst shooting nights of the season, recovered with six points in the third overtime to complement Jason Terry’s game-winning 3-pointer in a 118-114 C’s win at the Garden.

It was the Celtics’ ninth overtime game of the year and the fourth to reach at least two overtimes. The C’s improved to 5-4 in overtime, with a double-overtime win over the Miami Heat and last night’s game included in their current seven-game win streak, the longest of the season.

Denver, which had been the NBA’s hottest team, finally hit the wall last night after nine straight wins.

I've been meaning to bring them up for some time. They weren't playing great for some time but they've really gotten rolling as of late.

That team is just so deep, they keep throwing guys and you again and again. Though I do think they are a team that's going to have to eventually go the Memphis/OKC route and start moving some guys to avoid the lux tax. They don't have any stars but like I said they are just so deep and guys will want to get paid.

It's really sad, if Gallinari ever develops into the player thought he would be the Nuggets would be very dangerous. But he's never gotten past shooting low percentages.

THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

Gallo had a really bad first month shooting wise but he's been good ever since then

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He had a good January at about 47%, since then he's reverted back to 41-43% though.
