Facundo Campazzo played
one of his best games
in the NBA, or at least three of his best quarters, before falling into a general well that dragged virtually all of his teammates.
Despite the good performance of the Cordovan, the Denver Nuggets ended up losing without mitigating with the Boston Celtics, after a terrible last quarter, 87-105 in local condition.
Campazzo started
again
, for the third consecutive game, due to the discomfort in the right knee that continues to afflict the starting point guard,
Jamal Murray
, and added
14 points
(5-6 from the field goal with 3-3 on triples),
4 assists, 3 rebounds and up to 1 cap in 33 minutes
, his third best mark in the league.
Unlike the last match, in which it was difficult for him to get into the rhythm and into play and only towards the second half of the game did he start to unbalance, this time
Campazzo was a factor from the start.
With a high level of participation,
taking over offensive actions
, assisting and with the usual high degree of
defensive commitment
that translates into correct readings and good rotations, he also shot with certainty.
In the first two quarters he added
8 points with 2 triples and 100% effectiveness in his three shots, gave two assists and took an offensive rebound,
becoming a giant like the one he stole from Brazil in the 2016 Olympic Games (although not so important , Sure).

Campazzo took the same tonic to the resumption after the break, he continued to
take advantage of his combinations with
Nikola Jokic, with whom he can form a pair in which he is capable of being an assistant as an assisted, and after several encounters with the Serbian he collaborated so that the Nuggets even got
14 points
near the end of the 3C (79-65).
However, from then
on the house of cards began to collapse
.
The Argentine closed the period with two losses and coach Michael Malone
decided to replace him
.
Punishment for the part of responsibility in having seen the difference reduced to 8 (79-71) or simple rest to return it to the game at the time of the definition?
Whatever the reason, it wasn't a Campazzo bump exclusively.
The entire team went into a pot
and the Celtics edged up to five (79-74) by the start of the final 12 minutes.
And the debacle did not stop.
Denver scored just one point in five minutes, he suffered a partial general
25-3
and found, in
the absence of 4m40 the end,
14 points down
(82-96).
Campazzo's great game against Boston
The Cordoba scored 14 points in 33 minutes
The Cordovan could not escape the generalized downturn, he barely had one attempt at the hoop (which was covered by Robert Williams) and the game ended up going like the sand of a clock, without haste and without frights for Boston, which found itself with a victory
a while before unthinkable.
The Nuggets had a
seven-
game winning streak snapped
and it was a
wake-up call.
In the regular season, such a fall may have little impact, but entering the postseason a team with aspirations
cannot get carried away
in the way that the Colorado state did this Sunday.
Campazzo, who
was only two points away from their maximum
in the league, and company will play again this Monday against Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors, who march in 10th place in the Western conference, looking to get into the play-in to enter the playoffs and learned yesterday the injury of their promising young pivot
James Wiseman
, who suffered a
meniscus injury
that could marginalize him
for the remainder of the season
.
