Boston hosted Denver with their home record standing at 20 consecutive wins and zero losses since the start of the season.
An incredible run of power, but when Nikola Jokic is in front of you, the rules change and the final result accordingly - 100:102 for the Nuggets and the first home loss of the season for the Celtics.
The Serbian was great and came one assist away from a triple double, when the 9 efficient passes added 34 points and 12 rebounds.
Jamal Murray was his right hand man and even surpassed him with 35 points.
The two did not let Boston escape even when it took a 12-point lead.
Derrick White with 24 points and Jayson Tatum with 22 led the losers.
